The fortune is like hammer, man is nail.

Sometime it hits too hard, another time

Takes rest and restores power to itself,

Then hits too strongly and in a way very fell.

But what must keep the man in life, —

May be the connection with the lovely kind?

Perhaps we must care very quickly

In thoughts and acts about the needy.

When passes life so fast and sad

You may catch up and make agreement

With others: To be kindness itself,

And never hit. Ask it yourself,

What does it want to get from you? Let answer,

Or, may be, it is your duty lastly,

And must pay in time in full, —

Then hammer can’t hit you.

The life will be better, fate will be nice,

Prepare for the fortune better thus!

Already sent somebody thoughts

For you, – receive this letter of the God.

What does write He? – Hammer is a man,

The fortune is a nail, and people can

Be hammersmiths of life-fate then.
