Ty videl devu na skale,
V odezhde beloj, nad volnami,
Kogda, bushuja v burnoj mgle.
Igralo more s beregami,
Kogda luch molnij ozarjal
Jejo vsechasno bleskom alym,
I veter bilsja i letal
S jejo letuchim [pokryvalom?]1
Prekrasno more v burnoj mgle,
I nebo [v bleskakh]2, bez lazuri;
No ver' mne: deva na skale
Prekrasnej voln, nebes i buri.
