What type of poem is this? Lyric/etc...?

I Am Not One of Those Who Left the Land

by Anna Akhmatova



I am not one of those who left the land

to the mercy of its enemies.

Their flattery leaves me cold,

My songs are not for them to praise.

But I pity the exile's lot.

Like a felon, like a man half dead,

dark is your path, wanderer;

wormwood infects your foreign bread.

But here in the murk of conflagration

when scarcely a friend is left to know,

we, the survivors, do not flinch

from anything, not from a single blow.

Surely, the reckoning will be made

after the passing of this cloud.

We are the people without tears,

straighter than you鈥?more proud鈥?br>
