Alexei Nikolaevitch Verstovsky: The bell
("From distant lands and peoples...", Track 8)
Magnify
Alexey Savrasov, A Winter Road, 1870s, Oil on canvas, The Belorussian Museum of Arts, Minsk, Belarus.
The sledge slides on the road
And its bell sadly rings.
The grieving rider sings
In admiration of the maiden's beautiful eyes.
