In the day and in the night, alone or in family's
Let's get ready!

At the day of sadness, in a hour of pleasures
Let's get ready!

Or to take up arms and – hurray! charge bayonets
Let's get ready!

Or in the night of mine to deadly winning-post ^[1]
Let's get ready!

Or to come back with glory and defeat of an enemy's
Let's get ready!

Or to appear as the spirit – in this moment before the God
Let's get ready!

Stanin, 1863.
