Mgla zastilaet listvu
I bereg pruda...
V lodke, kachaias, plyvu -
Ne znaiu kuda...
Tikhie vspleski vesla
Zvuchat, kak vo sne...
Vlazhnaia, mutnaia mgla
Vsio blizhe ko mne.
Ia li plyvu na tuman?
Ili on na menia?
Chuditsia strashnyi obman
V mertsanii dnia.
Solntsa kak budto by net!
Dusha zamerla:
Zyblet tainstvenyi svet
Lish miortvaia mgla.
Haze covers the leaves
And the bank of the pool...
Swinging, I'm sailing my boat,
But don't know where...
Silently splashes the oar,
It sounds like in sleep...
Turbid and wet, the haze
Gets closer to me.
Am I sailing towards the mist,
Or it's sailing to me?
There seems to be a terrible lie
In a glimmer of day.
Looks like there's no sun at all!
The soul's sunk away:
Only this deathly haze
Ripples mysterious light.
