Lost in thoughts and feelings...Poetry of Mihai Eminescu, the greatest Romanian poet...(RO-EN)

Sonet III

Când însusi glasul gândurilor tace,
Mã-ngânã cântul unei dulci evlavii
Atunci te chem: chemarea-mi asculta-vei?
Din neguri reci plutind te vei desface?

Puterea noptii blând însenina-vei
Cu ochii mari si purtãtori de pace?
Rãsai din umbra vremilor încoace,
Ca sã te vãd venind ca-n vis, asa vii!

Cobori încet... aproape, mai aproape,
Te pleacã iar zâmbind peste-a mea fatã,
A ta iubire c-un suspin arat-o,

Sonnet III

When e'en the inner voice of thought is still,
And does some sacred chant my soul endear,
'Tis then I call to thee; but will you hear?
Will from the floating mists your form distill?

Will night its tender power of wonder rear
And your great, peaceful eyes their light fulfil,
That of the rays that bygone hours spill
To me as in a dream you do appear?

But come to me... come near, come still more near...
Smiling you bend to gaze into my face
While does your sigh gentle love make clear.

Upon my eyes I feel your lashes' trace,
O love, for ever lost, for ever dear,
To know the aching thrill of your embrace!
