Today is K. Lastochka's day!
Because the road is rough and long,
Shall we despise the skylark's song,
That cheers the wanderer's way?
Or trample down, with reckless feet,
The smiling flowerets, bright and sweet
Because they soon decay?
Pass pleasant scenes unnoticed by,
Because the next is bleak and drear;
Or not enjoy a smiling sky,
Because a tempest may be near?
No! while we journey on our way,
We'll notice every lovely thing;
And ever, as they pass away,
To memory and hope we'll cling.
And even though life's dark, and deep,
You walk by me, my blessed friend;
And I won't suffer, I won't weep,
But cherish it until the end!
Happy Day, K. Lastochka!
