Winter in the Village-Street

                                          Winter in the Village-Street                                           Iarna pe uliţă 

Straying flakes have dropped since last night        A-nceput de ieri să cadă
  Until now – and it‘s fine weather;                                Câte-un fulg, acum a stat,
Clouds, like bags of blue-black leather,                      Norii s-au mai răzbunat
        Westwards burst, yet o‘er the village                          Spre apus, dar stau grămadă

                                          Hang together.                                                                      Peste sat.
