Lead


by George Bacovia (1881-1957)

The coffins of lead were lying sound asleep,
And the lead flowers and the funeral clothes -
I stood alone in the vault ... and there was wind ...
And the wreaths of lead creaked.

Upturned my lead beloved lay asleep
On the lead flower ... and I began to call -
I stood alone by the corpse ... and it was cold ...
And the wings of lead drooped.


Dormeau adanc sicriele de plumb,
Si flori de plumb si funerar vestmint
-- Stam singur in cavou... si era vint...
Si scirtiiau coroanele de plumb.


Dormea intors amorul meu de plumb
Pe flori de plumb, si-am inceput sa-l strig
-- Stam singur langa mort... si era frig...
Si-i atirnau aripile de plumb.
