Shaganet, o my love, Shaganet!
You will know because I am Nordic;
I can tell you a meadow, most scenic,
Moonlit rye waves one cannot forget.
Shaganet, o my love, Shaganet,
You will know because I am Nordic;
So bright shines the moon out there
That it may outglow any glare
Of Shiraz blazing forth from its tunic.
You will know because I am Nordic;
I can tell you a meadow, most scenic,
For my hair was gifted from rye,
Twixt your fingers you may intertwine
I don’t feel any pain, any heartache.
I can tell you a meadow, most scenic.
Moonlit rye waves, one cannot
forget,
Look so much like my curly hair,
darling.
Oh, my love, please keep joking
and smiling,
But don’t let me think of the
silhouette
Of the rye waves, one cannot
forget.
Shaganet, o my love, Shaganet!
There, up north, lives a maiden who
also
Does resemble you terribly close,
May be now she’s thinking of me...
Shaganet, o my love, Shaganet.

Sergei Esenin was born on Oct. 3,
1895, in the Ryazan Province. His
parents were of peasant stock. He
was raised from the age of 2 in the
home of his grandfather. Esenin's
youth was rough and adventurous. He
learned to ride horseback at the age
of 3 and soon took part in farming and
in hunting expeditions. After
graduating from the local provincial
school in 1909, Esenin studied for 3
years in a Russian Orthodox church
school; the Russian Orthodox religion
had a strong effect on his political
views and on the thematics of his
poetry. In 1912 Esenin went to
Moscow, where he studied at the
Shanyavsky People's University. While
there he worked at various jobs and
began to write verse. His first poems
were published in 1914.
• In 1914 Esenin moved to Petrograd (later Leningrad, now St. Petersburg) and
immediately became a literary celebrity. He made the acquaintance of the
symbolist poet Aleksandr Blok and was a frequent visitor at various literary salons.
He had a completely uninhibited, raucous personality. He would often become
intoxicated and proclaim his verse at the top of his voice. Army service interrupted
his career in 1916, but soon after the Russian Revolution he was discharged, and
he returned to Petrograd.
• Shortly after the Revolution, Esenin married the dancer Isadora Duncan. She, like
many Western artists of the period, was flirting with the new and promising ideas
emanating from the Soviet Union after the Revolution. But Esenin had seen the
devastating effect of these ideas on the traditional peasant culture which he
cherished, and their marriage was stormy. In 1922 and 1923 Esenin and his wife
toured abroad, stopping in Germany, France, Austria, and the United States. In
1925 Esenin found himself abandoned and alone in Leningrad, suffering from
alcoholism. On the night of Dec. 27, 1925, he cut his wrists, wrote his last poem in
his own blood, and hanged himself.
Here is this happiness — silly —
Windows looking out to the lawn.
The sunset is peaceful, it’s gliding
On the lake like a scarlet-necked swan.
Greetings to you, golden stillness,
The birch, white and svelte as a stork.
Over the roof, a flock of jackdaws
Tends vespers to Lodestar.
Coyly, somewhere in the garden
Right where the guelder rose blooms,
A delicate girl in a white gown —
Chants her delicate tunes.
Grey haze ascends from the pastures;
Little night cold slowly creeps.
Happiness — silly and precious —
The innocent rose of your cheeks
Край ты мой заброшенный,
Край ты мой, пустырь,
Лес да монастырь.
В окна бьют без промаха
Вороны крылом,
Как метель, черёмуха
Машет рукавом.
Избы забоченились,
А их всех-то пять.
Крыши их запенились
В заревую гать.
Уж не сказ ли в прутнике
Жисть твоя и быль,
Что под вечер путнику
Нашептал ковыль?
Под соломой-ризою
Выструги стропил,
Ветер плесень сизую
Солнцем окропил.
Esenin's poetry is inspired by a
sensitivity to nature, unsullied by
modern life and free of the effects of
industrialization. He is a poet of the
Russian village and of the Russian
peasant in his rural setting. His
appreciation for nature is primitive
and religious, almost pantheistic.
His poems after the Revolution
portray the devastating effects which
the encroachment of
industrialization had on traditional
rural life. A typical juxtaposition in
his poetry is that of a colt to the iron
horse of the railroad. His style and
language reflect the rhythm and
color of Russian peasant speech.
One of the founders of the shortlived imagist movement in Russian
poetry, Esenin often uses liturgical
words and bright, contrasting
images. He viewed human nature as
fundamentally dual, and his poetry
portrays the struggle between
creative and destructive forces in
human life.
Белая берёза
Под моим окном
Принакрылась снегом,
Точно серебром.
На пушистых ветках
Снежною каймой
Распустились кисти
Белой бахромой.
И стоит берёза
В сонной тишине,
И горят снежинки
В золотом огне.
А заря, лениво
Обходя кругом,
Осыпает ветки
Новым серебром.
