by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Translation by Aleksei Konstantinovich Tolstoy, Count (1817 - 1875)
Die schlanke Wasserlilie
Language: German (Deutsch)
Die schlanke Wasserlilie Schaut träumend empor aus dem See; Da grüßt der Mond herunter Mit lichtem Liebesweh. Verschämt senkt sie das Köpfchen Wieder hinab zu den Welln -- Da sieht sie zu ihren Füßen Den armen blassen Geselln.

Language: Russian (Русский) after the German (Deutsch)
Из вод подымая головку, Лилея в раздумье глядит. С высот улыбаяся, Месяц к ней тихой любовью горит. Лилея стыдливо склонила Головку на зеркало вод, А он уж у ног её, бедный, Трепещет и блеск свой лиёт.
