Here you will find the Poem My Face Turned Upwards To The Sky of poet Afanasy Afanasevich Fet
My face turned upwards to the sky One summer night I lay upon some hay A lively close-knit starry chorus Was flickering all around. The mute earth, nebulous and dreamlike, Rushed off without a trace And I, like Eden's first inhabitant, Faced night's gaze all alone. Was it I hurtling into midnight's depths Or was it crowds of stars that hurtled toward me? It seemed as if a mighty palm Held me suspended over the abyss. And with a heart confused and stunned I cast my gaze into the depths, Whence sinking every moment deeper, I never will return.
