Trying to express my mental sphere in English ©

As I was walking pensively along the road
A shadow of an unpleasant thought
Was trying to dismay my soul
By confiding to me an eternal law
According to which every man is destined woe to see [= experience]
At that moment I stopped and asked myself: “Did we?”

I was about to succumb to the fear
But suddenly a sound reached my ear
It was a cricket’s song – a loud one and long
Probably the cricket wished something to confide -
To the whole world, and was spilling its appeal far and wide

“Perhaps he wants to tell me that,
What seems to be very sad,
Is something that we'd better not to hide
But to face it with pride [strength?] and an open mind”


And you, dear reader, what do you think? Should a man be incisive [decisive?] and not to look upon his destiny as to the steps which lead to the scaffold?

If I have to be honest, after the lecture of the little singer
My heart still prefers to linger

[Nice poem. I hope my suggestions help.]
