A. KORCHAGIN: "Snow Flies Like Age..."

"Snow Flies Like Age..."

1966
Snow flies like age, like days…
There’s a track in field on snow –  
Someone crossed this bare place
On the way to his far goal

And had gone; the blizzard’s blasts
Cover men’ tracks with white masses,
Leaving just one track for us – 
Which was followed by the others.
