Summary of “The Star of Fields” Rubtsov
In the frozen haze the lyrical hero sees his “star of the fields.” From a great height, she looks at the ground, in the wormwood (an unfrozen or slightly melted place on the icy surface of the reservoir). But the clock struck twelve. So, the field came down midnight. There was a borderline time of the natural state, when the old day had already left, and the new one had not yet entered into force. And it is at this point that the lyrical hero sees his star. At this time, the dream takes wide strides and envelops the entire homeland of the lyrical hero with its “sleepy coverlet”. The star of the fields, in the haze of the frozen one, Stopping, looks at the wormwood. Already on the clock twelve it rang, And the dream enveloped my homeland…
The hero in this beautiful sleepy time turns to the “star of the fields” with her doubts and emotions, which she again woke up in his soul. After all, always in moments of shock and mental anxiety, he

They beckon and fascinate any reader or listener of his works. Many of the poet’s poems are laid to music.

Nikolai Rubtsov sees the beautiful in the small. For example, in the poem “The Star of Fields”, written in 1964, he sees the beauty and attraction of one of the ordinary stars, which are many on the horizon on a clear and starry night. But he finds in its affable light a special charm. It becomes a kind of symbol for any person who, perhaps, is looking for answers to unresolved questions. Or maybe just looking into the beautiful sky.
It seems that Nature in the poem has some healing powers. And everyone can turn to her for help. The beauty of the native nature, reproduced by the creative genius of the poet, not only revives in poetic lines, but also possesses unique inimitable star colors and magical radiance.
