| George Bacovia |
| Midnight |
| The foliage now has begun A lazy, sorrowful round; And I weep, and my weeping at night Is kin to the willow outside. |
| 1881-1957 |
| Miezul Noptii |
| Frunzisul acuma pornit-a O lenesa, jalnica hora; Si plang, si cu plansul in noapte Rachita de-afara mi-i sora. |
| S-apropie-ncet miezul noptii, Si suna a frunzelor hora, Eu trec din odaie-n odaie, Cand bate satanica ora. |
| Midnight slowly approches, And the leaves' reel resounds - I pass on from room to room, When the satanic hour strikes. |
