After St. Petersburg, Saint Giles’ Street

 

Today we’re visiting Russia with a friend

Perhaps a Russia that never really was

Ideas, tea, and holy earth; just now

We’re asking a blessing from Father Zosima

 

Tomorrow we’re off to England, all of us

Perhaps an England that never really was

Ideas, tea, and holy earth; and soon

We’ll stroll through Oxford with poems on our lips

 

And exchange Shakespearean bon mots

With the Commie barmaid at the Eagle and Child
