Михаил Юрьевич Лермонтов, |
| translated by A. Z. Foreman |
| A sail drifts white and on its own |
| Amid the light blue ocean haze. |
| What does it seek in distant country? |
| What made it leave its native bays? |
| Great billows play. High winds are whistling |
| Down at the bending, creaking mast |
| Oh! This one seeks no happy ending |
| And does not flee a happy past. |
| Beneath, a brighter stream than azure. |
| Above, the golden sunray flows |
| Yet this one, restive...quests for tempests |
| As if in tempests were repose. |
