Somnoroase pasarele Somnoroase pãsãrele Pe la cuiburi se adunã, Se ascund în rãmurele - Noapte bunã! Doar izvoarele suspinã, Pe când codrul negru tace; Dorm si florile-n grãdinã - Dormi în pace! Trece lebeda pe ape între trestii sã se culce - Fie-ti ângerii aproape, Somnul dulce! Peste-a noptii feerie Se ridicã mândra lunã, Totu-i vis si armonie - Noapte bunã! (1883, în vol. poesii)

Drowsy birds Drowsy birds at even gliding, Round about their nests alight, In among the branches hiding . . . Dear, good night! Silence through the forest creeping, Lullaby the river sighs; In the garden flowers sleeping. . . Shut your eyes! Glides the swan among the rushes To its rest where moonlight gleams, And the angels' whisper hushes. . . Peaceful dreams! O'er the sky stars without number, On the earth a silver light; All is harmony and slumber . . . Dear, good night! (trad. de Corneliu M. Popescu !)   Sleepy birds All those sleepy birds Now tired from flight Hide among the leaves Good-night! Only the spring whispers When the wood sleeps silently; Even flowers in the gardens Sleep peacefully! Swans glide to their nest Sheltering among the reeds May angels guard your rest, Sweet dreams! Above a night of sorcery Comes the moon's graceful light, All is peace and harmony Good-night! (author unknown)
