by George Gordon Noel Byron, Lord Byron (1788 - 1824)
Translation by Konstantin Nikolayevich Batyushkov (1787 - 1855)

Jest' naslazhdenije i v dikosti lesov
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the English 
Jest' naslazhdenije i v dikosti lesov,
Jest' radost' na primorskom brege,
I jest' garmonija v sem govore valov,
Drobjashchikhsja v pustynnom bege. 
Ja blizhnego ljublju, no ty, priroda-mat',
Dlja serdca ty vsego dorozhe! 
S toboj, vladychica, privyk ja zabyvat'
I to, chem byl, kak byl molozhe,
I to, chem nyne stal pod kholodom godov. 
Toboju v chuvstvakh ozhivaju:
Ikh vyrazit' dusha ne znajet strojnykh slov,
I kak molchat' ob nikh - ne znaju.
