Ja znaju, otchego u `etikh beregov
Razdum'e tajnoje ob"emlet dukh plovcov:
Tam nimfa grustnaja s raspushchennoj kosoju,
Poluzakrytaja pevuchej osokoju,
Poroju pesn' pojot pro shelk svoikh vlasov,
Lazur' zaplakannykh ochej, zhemchug zubov
I serdce, polnoje ljubvi nerazdelennoj.
Projedet li chelnok-plovec obvorozhennyj,
Jejo zaslushavshis', perestajet gresti;
Zamolknet li ona -- no dolgo na puti
Jemu vsjo chudjatsja napevy nad vodoju
I nimfa v kamyshakh, s raspushchennoj kosoju.
