Anadyr Flowers By Vasily Bargachan Poem by Yuri Starostin

Anadyr flowers
From a long and snowy arctic winter
The earth frozen and never thaw,
But every spring by the blue carpet
All the grey –hair land the flowers covers.

By the lights they shines on the rocks
And in the wetland marsh blooms insatiable,
And, it seems, the tundra is in the light of a dawn
As the one country precepted.

In the envelope I'll put the arctic poppy,
Look, to wonder its life force,
We would be happier if
To father's land we serve so honest.
