We were four sisters, four sisters were we, <br />All four of us loved, but had different "becauses:" <br />One loved because father and mother told her to, <br />another loved because her lover was rich, <br />the third loved because he was a famous artist, <br />and I loved because I fell in love. <br /> <br />We were four sisters, four sisters were we, <br />All four of us wished, but had different wishes: <br />one wished to raise children and cook oatmeal, <br />another wished to wear a new dress every day, <br />the third wished everyone would talk about her, <br />and I wished to love and be loved.<br /><br />Mikhail Alekseevich Kuzmin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-were-four-sisters/
