by Mirra (Mariya) Alexandrovna Lokhvitskaya (1869 - 1905)

Когда тебя клеймят
 (Sung text for setting by R. Glière)
 Matches base text
Language: Russian (Русский) 
Когда в тебе клеймят и женщину, и мать -
За миг, один лишь миг, украденный у счастья,
Безмолвствуя, храни покой бесстрастья, -
Умей молчать!

И если радостей короткой будет нить
И твой кумир тебя осудит скоро
На гнет тоски, и горя, и позора, -
Умей любить!

И если на тебе избрания печать,
Но суждено тебе влачить ярмо рабыни,
Неси свой крест с величием богини, -
Умей страдать!
