Ty' videl devu na skale,
V odezhde beloj, nad volnami,
Kogda, bushuya v burnoj mgle.
Igralo more s beregami,
Kogda luch molnij ozaryal
Eyo vsechasno bleskom aly'm,
I veter bilsya i letal
S eyo letuchim [pokry'valom?]1
Prekrasno more v burnoj mgle,
I nebo [v bleskax]2, bez lazuri;
No ver` mne: deva na skale
Prekrasnej voln, nebes i buri.
