Полдень
Language: Russian (Русский)
Лениво дышит полдень мглистый; Лениво катится река -- И в тверди пламенной и чистой Лениво тают облака. И всю природу, как туман, Дремота жаркая объемлет -- И Сам теперь великий Пан В пещере нимф покойно дремлет.

Mittagsdunst
Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)
Der Fluß strömt träge durch die Täler, Darin der Tag im Flor verbrennt, Die trägen, leichten Wolken schwelen Am lohen, reinen Firmament, Und alles ruht im Nebelgraun, In schläfrig stillem, mattem Scheine, Und selbst der Wälder Gott, der Faun, Schläft ruhig in der Nymphen Heine.
