Description
It's not for us to calmly rot in graves.We'll lie stretched out in our half-open coffins
And hear before the dawn the cannon coughing,
The regimental bugle calling gruffly
From highways which we trod, our land to save.
We know by heart all rules and regulations.
What's death to us? A thing that we despise.
Lined up in graves, our dead detachment lies
Awaiting orders. And let generations
To come, when talking of the dead, be wise;
Dead men have ears and eyes for truth and lies.
A poem by Nicolai Mayorov.
Me as Russia..

I'm doing my best to translate the poem, but the little that I can understand sound so beautiful... ♥

I like poems. We write poems in the german lessons in school at the moment. It´s fun. xD And all the people there like my poems. |D That makes me happy.

Oh come on! It's not the same writting in english than in your native language, I really think that you should keep writting in german :'D but... you will have to tell me what are you talking about XD
I think a couple of months ago I really tried to speak german... but it's so difficult! I learned some words in french... but german? Noup... nothing "/
