Language: Romanian (Română) 
 ... 

 ... 
Pe ici, pe colo mai străbate cîte-o rază mai curată
Dintr-un Carmen Saeculare ce-l visai şi eu odată.
Altfel şuieră şi strigă, scapără şi rupt răsună,
Se împing tumultuoase şi sălbatece pe strună,
Şi în gîndu-mi trece vîntul, capul arde pustiit,
Aspru, rece sună cîntul cel etern neisprăvit…
Unde-s şirurile clare din viaţa-mi să le spun?
Ah! organele-s sfărmate şi maestrul e nebun!
