Из моря смотрит островок, Его зеленые уклоны Украсил трав густых венок, Фиалки, анемоны. Над ним сплетаются листы, Вокруг него чуть плещут волны. Деревья грустны, как мечты, Как статуи, безмолвны. Здесь еле дышит ветерок, Сюда гроза не [долетает]1, И безмятежный островок Всё дремлет, засыпает.

Rondom het eiland bevinden zich de nauwelijks ruisende golven. De bomen, treurig als dag-dromen, staan bewegingsloos als beelden. De wind ademt hier nauwelijks, stormen komen hier niet. En het serene kleine eiland, slaapt en droomt....
