Description
Dedicated to Mikhail Nikolaevich Petrenko (1817 - 1862) - a romantic poet of the first half of the 19th century. Until now, some of his works have been preserved, but on all continents of the world, his song masterpiece “I Look at the Sky” is remembered, and the lines of some poems of the poet are preserved in the songs. It is likely that Mikhail Petrenko was born in the city of Slavyansk (now Donetsk region) in 1817. For the first time his poems were published in 1841 in the poetic almanac `Snip`.
