| In the Park |
| Now the park is ravaged, sick, Gnawed by cancer and consumption, Stained red to the quick - Now hospital scene pass in succession. |
| 1881-1957 |
| In Parc |
| Acum sta parcul devastat, fatal, Mancat de cancer si ftizie, Patat de rosu carne-vie - Acum, se-nsira scene de spital. |
| Atunci, radea, Bateau aripi de veselie; Parfum, polen si histerie, - Atunci, in parc si ea venea. |
| Then she used to laugh, Wings of gladness would flutter; Scent, pollen and hysteria, - Then she too came to the park. |
| Now, on white feminine statues, Leaves of blood fall in the empty park; By the delicate forms' white pattern now pass Successive scene of rape. |
| Acum cad foi de sange-n parcul gol, Pe albe statui feminine; Pe alb model de forme fine, Acum se-nsira scene de viol ... |
