Visul unei nopti de vara (Editie bilingva)

Dar dac-aceasta-i voia sortii rele,
Sa induram si noi primejdii grele.
Ca toti iubitii, — noi s-avem rabdare,
Ca nu-i pe lume-amor lipsit de chin,
De ganduri negre si de-adanc suspin,
De dor, de lacrimi si de griji amare!

If then true lovers have been ever cross’d,
It stands as an edict in destiny:
Then let us teach our trial patience,
Because it is a customary cross,
As due to love as thoughts and dreams and sighs,
Wishes and tears, poor fancy’s followers.
