| Night |
 |
| Avenues spread in the summer night, Electric light on the trees - An engine throbs at the railway station And in the void, the signals shiver. |
| 1881-1957 |

| Noapte |
| Se-ntind bulevarde-n noapte de vara, Pe arbori electrica lumina - La gara zvacneste o masina, Si-n gol tresar signale de gara. |
| Pe cer de safir, comori de avari ... Tacerea in gol vibreaza cu zvon Orasul, cu-ncetul pare-un salon, Acuma, in somn, tresar fete mari. |
 |
 |
| A miser's wealth on a sapphire sky ... Silence vibrates in the void with a hum, - The town slowly looks like drawing-room, Now in their sleep the young maids quiver. |
