| George Bacovia |
| In the garden |
| From exhausted boughs, autumn creaks In old fences and in wooden eaves; Like a sinister sign fall the leaves In the stillness of the garden asleep. |
| 1881-1957 |
| In gradina |
| Scartaie toamna din crengi ostenite Pe garduri batrane, pe stresini de lemn, Si frunzele cad ca un sinistru semn In linistea gradinii adormite. |
| O palida fata cu gesturi grabite Asteapta pe noul amor ... Pe cand, discordant si infiorator, Scartaie toamna din crengi ostenite. |
| A pale girl is waiting (she makes Hurried gestures) for her new lover ... Meanwhile, in discordance and horror, From exhausted boughs, autumn creaks. |
