| George Bacovia |
| Summer Dusk |
| Hysterical pale old maids Flutter at open windows ... In red Nuptial dusks they wait Pale, they will never be married. |
| 1881-1957 |
| Amurg de Vara |
| Histerizate fecioarele pale, La ferestre deschise, palpita ... In amurguri rosii, nuptiale, Stau pale, si nu se mai marita. |
| Eu trec, imbatranit, ca si ele, Si-asemenea inima mea plange - Din treacat, tuturor, in perdele, Le pun cate-o raza de sange. |
| Aged just like them, I pass, Also with tears in my heart - And for each, on my way, I place In the curtains a rose of blood. |
