" "
Средь лицемерных наших дел
И всякой пошлости и прозы
Одни я в мире подсмотрел
Святые, искренние слёзы —
То слезы бедных матерей!
Им не забыть своих детей,
Погибших на кровавой ниве,
Как не поднять плакучей иве
Своих поникнувших ветвей.

Additional quotes by Nikolay Nekrasov

Ты и убогая,
Ты и обильная,
Ты и забитая,
Ты и всесильная,
Матушка-Русь!

A heavy cross is her allotted burden:
she hides her tears, dares hardly speak or stir;
some know the joys of passion, youth and freedom;
she gave him all—and now he tortures her!

Amid our hypocritical affairs
and all kinds of matters, platitudinous and prosaic,
the only sacred and sincere tears I have observed
are the tears of unfortunate mothers.
For them to forget their children slain in battle
is as impossible as for a weeping willow
to lift its drooping branches.
