Septain

Grands jardins, parcs ombreux,
poétique domaine, séjour vraiment royal,
doux coin de paradis
où l'allée au sentier succède,
et partout mène au massifs
parfumés aux buissons pleins de nids.

Vous êtes bien heureux d'avoir
pour chatelaine une femme au coeur
d'or et digne du blason
qu'on entrevoit taillé dans le grave fronton.

by Georges Collin

Chudnyj sad

Chudnyj sad, tjomnyj park,
po`eticheskij zamok, dostojnyj korolej,
volshebnyj raj zemnoj;
gde alleji, smeniv tropinki,
v aromatnyje chashchi vedut,
k trostnikam, polnym gnjozd.

O, kak schastlivy vy s vashej vlastitel'nicej,
zhenshchinoj dobroj dushi, 
kotoroj slavnyj gerb izobrazhjon
na strogom frontone dvorca.
