Iskusstvo (Maykov, set by N. Rimsky-Korsakov) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Srezal sebe ja trostnik u priberezh'ja shumnogo morja.
Nem on, zabytyj, lezhal v mojej khizhine bednoj.
Raz uvidal jego starec prokhozhij,
k nochlegu v khizhinu k nam zavernuvshij.
(On byl neponjaten, chuden na nashej glukhoj storone)
On obrezal stvol i otverstij nadelal, k ustam prilozhil ikh, 
i ozhivlennyj trostnik vdrug ispolnilsja zvukom chudnym,
kakim ozhivljalsja poroju u morja,
jesli vnezapno zefir, zarjabiv jego vody,
trosti kosnetsja i zvukom napolnit pomor'je.
