The author of this poem is petofi Sando (1823— 1849), a famous Hungarian patriotic fighter and poet. At the age of 25, he led an armed uprising in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, which later turned into a great patriotic war. In the battle with the Austrian rulers with the assistance of the Tsar's army, petofi galloped on the battlefield with poetry as a weapon, holding a combat knife and a quill pen, and finally died heroically on the battlefield at the age of 26 years and 7 months.
