Rough wind that moanest loud
Language: English 
Our translations:  CAT FRE
Rough wind that moanest loud
Grief too sad for song;
Wild wind, when sullen cloud
Knells all [the]1 night long;
Sad storm whose tears are vain,
Bare woods, whose branches strain,
Deep caves and dreary main, --
Wail, for the world's wrong!

Похоронная Песнь
 (Sung text for setting by B. Lyatoshynsky)
 See original
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the English 
О, ветер, плачущий уныло,
О, вестник тучи грозовой;
Пещера, мрачная могила,
Где слышен бури злобный вой;

Ты, вечно-трепетное море,
Ты, сосен вековых семья, —
Оплачьте мировое горе,
Тоску земного бытия!
