He who has seen a great oak dry and dead,
Bearing some trophy as an ornament,
Whose roots from earth are almost rent,
Though to the heavens it still lifts its head;
More than half-bowed towards its final bed,
Showing its naked boughs and fibres bent,
While,
leafless
now, its heavy crown is leant
Support by a gnarled trunk, its sap long bled;
And though at the first strong wind it must fall,
And many young oaks are rooted within call,
Alone among the devout populace is revered:
Who such an oak has seen, let him consider,
That, among cities which have flourished here,
This old honoured dust was the most honoured.

White shapes flit to and fro
From mast to mast;
They feel the distant tempest
That nears them fast:
Great rocks are
straight
ahead,
Great shoals not past;
They shout to one another
Upon the blast.

Whilst I tell the gallant stripling's tale of daring;
When this morn they led the gallant youth to judgment
Before the dread
tribunal
of the grand Tsar,
Then our Tsar and Gosudar began to question:
Tell me, tell me, little lad, and peasant bantling!

The Warders strutted up and down,
And kept their herd of brutes,
Their
uniforms
were spick and span,
And they wore their Sunday suits,
But we knew the work they had been at,
By the quicklime on their boots.
