A silver sail, the ocean loner,
Is lurking in the azure mist.
What has she lost in foreign corners?
What in her homeland did she miss?
Her mast is clattering and bending
Midst whistling wind and raging wave.
Alas, she seeks no happy ending,
Nor runs from happiness away.
Beneath – the crystal torrent tempteth,
Above – the golden rays caress,
Yet she, rebellious, longs for tempests
As though a tempest granted rest.

Оставлю здесь также и свой вариант перевода. У меня парус - мальчик ))
"He" - is a metaphorical gender of the sail.

In cyan fog of sea
Alone white sail is seen!..
What is he searching faraway?
What left behind in his homeland?..
