(280 words) The lyrics of Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin are amazing and incredibly multifaceted, like his creative personality. From obscene quatrains to declarations of love, from big words and revelations to the finest lyrics. With all the variety of themes and emotional torment, the theme of the Motherland passes through the whole poetry of Yesenin. These lines can be called the life credo of the poet - that main idea to which all the ways of interlacing rhymes and words lead.
The theme of love for the motherland is also visible in Yesenin's love lyrics. A noticeable blue fire, for example, turned the author's worldview so strongly, but he could not keep silent about the forgotten native lands. And even though he would have followed the one to whom the poem is addressed, “even to his own, even to others’s,” the poet emphasizes with this phrase how much he values his homeland and what kind of sacrifice it is for him. In the poem “Letter to a Woman” it is not even clear why he worries more: for breaking up with a chosen one, or for the fate of his native country? Tormented by the uncertainty of her future, the lyrical hero could not be happy with the lady of the heart - he was so sick of his soul for his lands.
In his poem, "The Golden Grove Dissuaded" the only friend and interlocutor for him is a painfully familiar bare plain, a tree that drops leaves, with which he compares the flow of his sad words ... This suggests that the poet preferred to share his innermost thoughts with his native nature which he always adorned with avatars. In the poem, “Goy you, Russia, my dear,” Yesenin says that he would prefer the fatherland even to paradise.
Sergei Yesenin in his lyrics usually calls himself a "bully" and a "wanderer." But this wanderer likes only the fields of his native country; the smell of apple and honey; “Red rowan bonfire”; poplarly clanking poplars; bare plains, old huts, a clear blue sky above your head, and cranes, blown away by the wind.
