Урну с водой уронив, об утёс её дева разбила.
  ‎Дева печально сидит, праздный держа черепок.
Чудо! не сякнет вода, изливаясь из урны разбитой;
‎  Дева, над вечной струёй, вечно печальна сидит.

Die Statue von Zarskoje Sselo

Language: German (Deutsch) after the Russian (Русский)

Hatte die Jungfrau am Fels einst die Urne mit Wasser zerschellet.
  Sitzet nun da voller Leid, haltend ein Scherblein und sinnt.
Staune! das Wasser rinnt fort, der zerbrochene Urne entfließend:
  sitzt nun beim ewigen Strahl, ewig voll Trauer die Maid.

From a Cui edition.
