by Lucian Blaga (1895 - 1961)

Liniste
Language: Romanian (Română) 
Atâta linişte-i în jur de-mi pare că aud
cum se izbesc de geamuri razele de lună.

În piept
mi s-a trezit un glas străin
şi-un cântec cânta-n mine-un dor
ce nu-i al meu.

Se spune că strămoşii cari au murit fără de vreme,
cu sânge tânăr înca-n vine,
cu patimi mari în sânge,
cu soare viu în patimi,
vin,
vin sa-şi trăiasca mai departe
în noi
viaţa netrăita.

Atâta linişte-i în jur de-mi pare că aud
cum se izbesc de geamuri razele de lună.

O, cine ştie - suflete,-n ce piept îţi vei cânta
şi tu odată peste veacuri
pe coarde dulci de linişte,
pe harfă de-ntuneric - dorul sugrumat
şi frânta bucurie de viaţă? Cine ştie?
Cine ştie?
