Дробится, и плещет и брызжет волна
мне в очи соленою влагой;
недвижно на камне сижу я, полна
душа безотчетной отвагой.

Валы за валами, прибой и отбой,
и пена их гребни покрыла.
О, море, кого же мне вызвать на бой,
изведать воскресшие силы?

Почуяло сердце, что жизнь хороша,
вы, волны, размыкали горе,
от грома и плеска проснулась душа -
сродни ей шумящее море!
