What can I do? Who is there to help me?
There are few hands and all too little strength.
I'm a lone straw tossing in the whirlwind,
a sad orphan without friend or kinfolk.
My people sleep a deep and lifeless sleep;
no parent's hand to wipe away my tears.
Above my head the heaven is shut tight;
it does not hear my cries or my prayers.
The world has now become a hell for me,
people have turned into hellish spirits.
O my dark day! O my black destiny!
O my wretched Lupine nation snuffed out!
(an excerpt from Mountain Wreath by P. P. Njegoš)
