О, посмотри! как много маргариток —
И там, и тут...
Они цветут; их много; их избыток;
Они цветут.
Их лепестки трёхгранные — как крылья,
Как белый шёлк...
[Вы — лета мощь! Вы — радость изобилья!
Вы — светлый полк!]1
Готовь, земля, цветам из рос напиток,
Дай сок стеблю...
О, девушки! о, звезды маргариток!
Я вас люблю...
1 Rachmaninov: "В них лета мощ! В них радость изобилья!/ В них слетлый полк."

Oh, see how many daisies, Here and there, They blossom; they are plentiful; they are abundant. They blossom. Their petals are three-edged, like wings, Like white silk; [You are the summer's might! You are abundant joy, You are radiant multitude!]1 Earth prepares to flower with the dew’s draught, Giving sap to the stalks. Oh maidens, Oh daisy stars, I love you!
1 Rachmaninov: "In them the summer's might! In them abundant joy,/ In them radiant multitude."
