Na myse tom dikom, uvenčannom bednoj osokoj, Pokrytom kustarnikom vetchim i zelën'ju sosen, Pečal'nyj Menisk, prestarelyj rybak, schoronil Pogibšego syna. Ego vzlelejalo more, Ono že ego i prijalo v širokoe lono, I na bereg berežno vyneslo mertvoe telo. Oplakavši syna, otec pod razvesistoj ivoj Mogilu emu iskopal i, [nakryv eë]1 kamnem, Pletenuju veršu iz ivy nad neju povesil -- Ugrjumoj ich bednosti pamjatnik skudnyj!
