A Thing Seen                                  Vesch' vidimaja      (podstrochnik)


She in her garden, near the high grey wall,   Ona v svoem sadu, okolo vysokoj seroj steny,
Sleeping, a silver-bodied birch-tree tall     Spjaschaja, serebrjano-telye bereza-derev'ja vysokie
That held its garments o'er wide and green    Kotorye hranili svoi odezhdy nad shirokim i zelenym
Building a parapet of shade between,          Strojaschie parapet tenej mezhdu,
Forbidding the amorous sun to look on her.    Zapreschaja ocharovannomu solntsu smotret' na nee.
No fold of gracious raiment was astir.        Ni (odna) skladka miloserdnogo odejanija (ne) shevel'nulas'.
The wind walked softly; silent moved a cloud  Veter guljal mjagko; tiho dvigal oblako 
Listening; of all the tree no leaf was loud   Slushaja; vo vsem dereve ni (odin) listok ne shumel
But guarded a divine expectant hush           No ohranjal bozhestvennuju vyzhidajuschuju tishinu
Thrilled by the silence of a hidden thrush.   Drozhaschuju ot molchanija skrytoj [thrush].
