The Cossacks is composed of five five-line stanzas (cinquains) written in free verse, or verse without a set rhyme pattern or meter. The first stanza opens with the statement that to Jews, hostility and danger are always around the corner. This foreshadows the themes of anti-Semitism later in the poem.
