Я помню море пред грозою: 
Как я завидовал волнам, 
Бегущим бурной чередою 
С любовью лечь к её ногам! 
Как я желал тогда с волхами 
Коснуться милых ног устами! 
Нет, никогда средь пылких дней 
Кипящей младости моей 
Я не желал с таким мученьем 
Лобзать уста младых Армид, 
Иль розы пламенных ланнт, 
Иль перси, полные томленьем; 
Нет, никогда порыв страстей 
Так не терзал души моёй! 

I remember the sea before the storm: 
How I envied the waves, 
Running in a turbulent sequence 
With love to lie to her feet! 
How I wished then with the waves 
To touch sweet feet with lips! 
No, never among the ardent days 
Of boiling youth of mine 
I have not wished with such torment 
To kiss the lips of young Armidas 
Or roses of flaming cheeks, 
Or breasts, full of languor; 
No, never an impulse of passions 
So not rankled the soul of mine!

Friedrich). Nash described the image as a sea, even suggesting that the jagged forms were not metal but ice.
