Now his longed-for land so dear
Sitting on his left and right,
There’s an island in the sea,
Stands out in the distance, clear.
Stared at him with all their might.
Shores as steep as steep can be;
Now the ship at anchor rests
Tsar Saltan, with royal grace,
And the merchants, honoured guests,
Gave the merchants each his place,
Nothing but an oak grew there.
Palacewards their footsteps make
Then he said: "Now, masters mine,
Now it has a new-built city,
With our gallant in their wake.
Sailed you far across the brine?
Stately mansions,
