Tchaikovsky's Settings of Works by Mikhaylov
Blue Eyes of Spring (Глазки весны голубые) — No. 2 of the Two Songs (1873) — is a setting of an untitled poem in Mikhaylov's cycle New Spring (Новая весна) (1857), which was itself a translation from the German of Die blauen Frühlingsaugen (1831) by Heinrich Heine (1797–1856).
