A Romanian friend

Afară-i toamnă, frunză-mprăştiată,
Iar vântul zvârle-n geamuri grele picuri;
Şi tu citeşti scrisori din roase plicuri
Şi într-un ceas gândeşti la viaţa toată.

Without 'tis autumn, the wind beats on the pane
With heavy drops, the leaves high upwards sweep.
You take old letters from a crumpled heap,
And in one hour have lived your life again.
