Ревёт ли зверь в лесу глухом, Трубит ли рог, гремит ли гром, Поёт ли дева за холмом - На всякий звук Свой отклик в воздухе пустом Родишь ты вдруг. Ты внемлешь грохоту громов, И гласу бури и валов, И крику сельских пастухов - И шлешь ответ; Тебе ж нет отзыва... Таков И ты, поэт!

Si une bête hurle dans la forêt sauvage, Si un cor résonne, si le tonnerre gronde, Si une jeune fille chante sur la colline, À chaque son, Ta réponse dans l'espace aérien, Tu l'apportes tout de suite. Tu écoutes le tonnerre gronder, Et la voix des tempêtes et des vagues, Et les cris du berger dans la campagne, Et tu leur réponds. À toi personne ne répond... De même À toi, poète !
