Posomorata lor inlatuire Nu e decat un spasm incremenit— Suprema incordare de granit, Ramasa dintr-o alta intocmire. Demult, cand dorul lor nebiruit Il logodi cu vasta stralucire, Un brat semet au repezit spre fire. Dar gheata inaltimii l-a-mpietrit. Si-n vreme ce c-un gest de renunțare Atatea stanci expira-n vijelie, Suvoiul apei neincapatoare, —Serpuitoare forma vesnic vie— Prin necuprina zarilor campie Se-ndreapta catre mari odihnitoare.
