Youth and maturity sat down on a bench …
Youth told: You will be able to live as I.
The maturity answered: Beauty is not eternal,
Learn to share beauty warm.

Youth, with a sneer: What in you it?
House, family, work … Boring fetters.
The maturity smiled as if to the younger daughter:
Without fetters family people of the single.

Youth went on: "Everything in me is fine,
It is young, free, and is beautiful, clearly?
The maturity answered: I am wiser than you,
And with you, the baby, I will not dare to argue …

Mature, you learn, happiness not in freedom,
Not in night festivities, not in the Parisian fashion.
Youth laughed: Nonsenses all this,
Time not in this happiness, means happiness is not present.

The maturity answered: No, it happens,
If the sky allows to live with darling,
If laughter of kids is heard from the house.
You with happiness, a crumb, are unfamiliar.

Youth asked: If truth it,
What at the nights do you cry and about what secrets?
I pay at the nights, the maturity said:
Because did not appreciate it earlier …
