Dear all,
I'm having difficulty sourcing the poem below, and would be very grateful
if anyone could help. It's from Petr Lutsik's 1998 film Okraina, and may be
a pastiche. Please feel free to reply off-list if you'd prefer.

Uzh pozdno. Putnik odinokii
Odelsia burkoiu shirokoi.
Za dubom nizkim i gustym
Doroga skrylas´. Veter duet.
Kon´ spotykaetsia pod nim,
Khrapit, kak budto gibel´ chuet
I vstal. Divitsia, slez sedok
I vidit propast´ pred soboi,
A tam na dne ee potok
Vo mrake beshenoi volnoi
Shumit. Vdrug vidit on v dali pustoi
Trepeshchet ogonek.
I snova saditsia na konia likhogo
I cherez silu skachet kon´
Tuda, gde svetitsia ogon´.

Thanks very much!
Best wishes, Nick Sturdee, SSEES/UCL
