С.Лемешев Из моря/

Сергей Лемешев. Из моря смотрит островок (С. Рахманинов - К. Бальмонт/из П. Шелли), соч.14 N 2. Sergei Lemeshev. Iz Morja Smotrit Ostrovok (There Was a Little Lawny Islet), op. 14 no. 2. Russian Romance (S. Rachmaninov - K. Balmont). The paintings are by the Russian artist . There was a little lawny islet By anemone and violet, Like mosaic paven: And its roof was flowers and leaves Which the summer’s breath enweaves, Where nor sun nor showers nor breeze Pierce the pines and tallest trees, Each a gem engraves; - Girt by many an azure wave With which the clouds and mountains pave A lake’s blue chasm.
