Description:

Vitas live. ~~~~~Words in English translated by alvasta: Winter... A snow-storm... The snow is falling in large flakes, And a strong wind is blowing. A ragged beggarly old woman is standing at the temple entrance. She is standing with a crutch, waiting for alms. She is barefooted both in summer and in winter. Please give her alms. You know, twenty years ago This old woman was a poet's dream, And the fame twined a wreath for her. When she was singing on the stage, Paris was enchanted with her. She was unrivalled. Please give her alms. It often happened that the crowd Didn't let her go after the performance. And the delighted young people shouted loudly "Bravo!" As she passed by. The circle of her guests praised her generously -- In happiness everybody is our friend, But in trouble these friends disappear... The saint will of Providence: The artist became ill And lost her voice and eyesight. Today she lives by begging. Earlier, beggars often used to come to her For asking for alms. And today she is ashamed of begging you... Please give her alms.
