"Song of the Plains" (), also known as "Meadowlands", "Cavalry of the Steppes" or "O Fields, My Fields", is a Soviet song. In Russian, póle (поле) means 'plain', and pólyushko (полюшко) is a diminutive and hypocoristic form of póle.
== Soviet arrangements == The music was composed by Lev Knipper, with lyrics by Viktor Gusev in 1933. The song was part of the symphony with chorus (lyrics by Gusev) "A Poem about a Komsomol Soldier" (Поэма о бойце-комсомольце) composed in 1934. The original lyrics are sung from the perspective of a Red Army recruit, who proudly leaves his home to keep watch against his homeland's enemies.
