Reda-mi atunci acele timpuri Cand insumi mai eram in devenire, Cand un izvor nastea fara-ncetare Cantari atatea, de iubire, Cand negura-nvalea taramul Si-un mugur promitea minuni, Cand flori rupeam prin vai o mie Si le-azvarleam dupa lastuni.

Übrigens befinde ich mich hier gar wohl. Die Einsamkeit ist meinem Herzen köstlicher Balsam in dieser paradiesischen Gegend, und diese Jahreszeit der Jugend wärmt mit aller Fülle mein oft schauderndes Herz.
