Тихо, море голубое!
Language: Russian (Русский)
Тихо, море голубое! Если б вихрь не налетал, Не шумело б, не кидало б В берега за валом вал! Тихо б грудь моя дышала, Если б вдруг, в душе моей Образ твой не проносился Вихря буйного быстрей!

Love's tempest
Language: English after the Russian (Русский)
Silent lay the sapphire ocean, Till a tempest came to wake All its roaring, seething billows That upon earth's ramparts break. Quiet was my heart within me, Till your image, suddenly Rising there, awoke a tumult Wilder than the storm at sea.
