Utjos

Nochevala tuchka zolotaja
Na grudi utjosa-velikana;
Utrom v put' ona umchalas' rano,
Po lazuri veselo igraja.

No ostalsja vlazhnyj sled v morshchine
Starogo utjosa. Odinoko
On stojit; zadumalsja gluboko,
I tikhon'ko plachet on v pustyne...

The cliff

Once upon a time a Golden Cloud
On the bosom of a Cliff was sleeping
By sunrise it with a breeze was sweeping
Gaily playing with its azure shroud;

But some traces of the cloud were seeping
To the craggy wrinkles. In the desert
The Cliff stood and mused without comfort
Deeply thinking, desperately weeping.
