Language: Russian (Русский)

На мысе том диком, увенчанном бедной осокой,
Покрытом кустарником ветхим и зелёнью сосен,
Печальный Мениск, престарелый рыбак, схоронил 
Погибшего сына. Его взлелеяло море, 
Оно же его и прияло в широкое лоно,
И на берег бережно вынесло мертвое тело.
Оплакавши сына, отец под развесистой ивой
Могилу ему ископал и, [накрыв её]1 камнем,
Плетеную вершу из ивы над нею повесил --
Угрюмой их бедности памятник скудный!
