lyrics

There, on the marge so desolate,
He stood, with mighty thoughts elate,
And sorry skiff...
Of Neva drifted seaward!

The moss-grown miry bank with rare
Hovels were dotted here and there
The murm'ring woodlands...
On sunshine, all in misty shroud

O' sunshine higher, in misty shroud
The statue's rising o'er nations' crowd

Here...

And thus He mused:
“From here, indeed
Shall we strike terror
Onto the Swede?"
And here a city
By our labour
Founded, shall gall
Our haughty neighbour

“Here cut” — so Nature gives command —
“Your window through
On Europe; stand!

Gem of the North, amazing,
In pride and splendour blazing.
Where once, low-lying shore,
In waters never known 'fore
Those shores, astir with motion,
And towers on the ocean,
The Neva's clad in granite
With bridge to overspan it

Islands lie beneath a screen
Of gardens
Deep in dusky green of waters
Silent
That you eye!

I love thy stone harmonies so austere,
Along your glum banks of granite sheer,
Thy tracery irony gates and your sparkling,
And thy transparent twilight darkling

"The Bronze Horseman -
Thou art the guard of burg!"

Smoke from thy forts: thy booming gun;
Empire holds its celebration;
Now, Petersburg, stand thou fast,
Foursquare vaunt thy nation's splendour!

So we sing the hosanna
To the city of sea
This ain't fata morgana
But the autocracy
For Ye!
Our legacy!
