68 – The sail by Mikhail Lermontov

Read the text with translation:

Белеет парус одинокий
В тумане моря голубом!..
Что ищет он в стране далёкой?
Что кинул он в краю родном?...
Играют волны — ветер свищет,
И мачта гнётся и скрипит...
Увы! Он счастия не ищет
И не от счастия бежит!
Под ним струя светлей лазури,
Над ним луч солнца золотой...
А он, мятежный, просит бури,
Как будто в бурях есть покой! 
 
  A lonely sail is flashing white Amdist the blue mist of the sea!... What does it seek in foreign lands? What did it leave behind at home?..  Waves heave, wind whistles, The mast, it bends and creaks... Alas, it seeks not happiness Nor happiness does it escape!  Below, a current azure bright, Above, a golden ray of sun... Rebellious, it seeks out a storm As if in storms it could find peace!
