The longing [Dorul]

The longing burns inside my core
I wail and find no rest,
Ah! without wings I cannot soar
To reach your mellow breast!

I feel I'm dying here below
I'm helpless and I fear,
I never learn, I do not know,
A thing about you, dear.

At night in silence, I confess,
In pain I touch my scars,
And beg for comfort and caress
From moon and from the stars.

But they keep silent and have flown
Across the clear blue sky;
I sob for feeling all alone,
I'm empty and I cry.

poem by Alexandru Vlahuţă, translated by Octavian Cocoş
