I must sing of Russia, I must sing a song
That others, too, will want to sing aloud, For not to me alone these sentiments belong. Russia! How strong a name, and proud! Stronger than any other name for me, Stronger than love, the love of mothers stronger, And when this breast can hold the song no longer, Far will I fling it o’er the singing sea. Alexander Prokofiev |
