IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about...

Očiju tvojih da nije

Očiju tvojih da nije
Ne bi bilo neba
U malom našem stanu

Smeha tvoga da nema
Zidovi ne bi nikad
Iz očiju nestajali

Slavuja tvojih da nije
Vrbe ne bi nikad
Nežne preko praga prešle

Ruku tvojih da nije
Sunce ne bi nikad
U snu našem prenoćilo

Vasko Popa
