1. What is weal, what does mean this word,

All people heard or may be not?

Why all around talk about bad,

And very little about weal, which is great.

2. I think, all people, first of all,

Must children be of beauty told.

What can they know about weal,

When adults are taciturn and still.

3. Who’ll to the first-born say the word one, —

The first time mother will have done.

But when mother has left the baby,

Who will say the word about things better?

4. What can we answer to the little man,

About somebody, who won’t wait… Feign!

It’s many thousands of times

Are left the jolly little ones.

5. Then the abandoned, delicate child,

Must live among the mindless crowd.

Where is the generosity? Why is it lost?

Are there magnanimous people? Yes, of course!

6. The generous man is keeping peace

So only he can tell what weal is.

But everyone wants to hear, need to talk?

Perhaps it is needful for man to fall.

7. Why have fallen they? Perhaps in life,

None of them ever heard anything fine.

And nobody was loving,

To them never loveful letter was coming.

8. They never were love-child been,

And never were love of parents feeling.

Perhaps man must be tolerant,

With people well and nicely set.

9. Then to the last man all will be nice,

For good, the sadness will leave us.

In weal and woe, we must remember,

All people want to get love forever!

10. But to get love, we must give first,

And never wait for him, who brings us most.

Let us together sublime feel,

For happy life, for common weal!
