1. All people, who on earth live,

Were born as children. In feeling

Keep anyone can this beautiful time,

When carefree all deeds are done.

2. Child has too many qualities, which is best,

But one quality isn’t transformed into quality next.

It is a pity! How much kindness

Was done with child, and was left the mind in fineness.

3. Who is the killer? Killed who the best thoughts,

Which live in children’s minds. And who has

Those killed? Answer who?

Why children can’t keep fine, are lost soon?

4. To be in second childhood, well?

But what is childhood, who can rightly tell?

In all likelihood it’s better time,

When little man the great likelihood has done.

5. Then collide with indifference, which does kill,

And one after another die all best feelings.

How can they keep inviolable the gift?

It must be clean and never hit.

6. If little one can know in advance,

How man is growing up from little ones,

Perhaps he can show some fight, —

And have the fight for one’s life mind.

7. The struggle for existence is a very severe test.

But singly must a man without rest,

Fight through every hardship then,

And gain a victory over false and base.

8. Perhaps will never come back

The falsity and the darksome bad.

But all must know very well

Where have come from people fell.

9. They are from childhood, like traits all,

But very different from childlike who are all.

Why not believe, what sees child in dream,

Fancy child’s is of great vitality in feeling.

10. My dear little one, you must look ahead,

Your open eyes will have seen sad

Don’t throw out child, along with water of bath

And you’ll in future hear how grows the grass!
