Cimitirului vechi
îi era foame,
iar copacii tineri
căutau îngrășământ:
toată povestea e-aici.
Balansul oamenilor
și al leagănelor
nu-i decât pretext.
Sensul versurilor
The poem depicts an old cemetery personified as hungry, with young trees seeking nourishment from it. The balance of people and cradles is just a pretext, suggesting a deeper, perhaps darker, reality beneath the surface.
