For an edition I'm preparing of Czech song cycles, one of the texts is a
translation by the Czech poet Petr Kricka of a poem by Konstantin
Dmitrievich Balmont; I shall need to identify and see the Russian
original. Can anyone help in identifying it and giving me a reference to a
reliable edition of the text?  In translation the poem is entitled "Pres
daleka more" ("Over distant seas") and begins "Z kraji, slunce kde hori, /
pres sedmery bor / a pres sedmero mori / a sedmero hor ..."  The song was
published in 1916, so it's before that.
