The best thing in the world / Cel mai bun lucru din lume

What’s the best thing in the world ?
June-rose, by May-dew impearled;
Sweet south-wind, that means no rain;
Truth, not cruel to a friend;
Pleasure, not in haste to end;
Beauty, not self-decked and curled
Till its pride is over-plain;
Light, that never makes you wink;
Memory, that gives no pain;
Love, when, so, you’re loved again.
What’s the best thing in the world ?
— Something out of it, I think.

Elisabeth Barrett Browning

Cel mai bun lucru din lume

Ce-i mai bun in asta lume ?
roza verii-n Mai perlata ;
dulce zefir far’ de ploaie ;
onest, nu crud in simtire.
negrabita fericire;
gratie nemutilata
de mandria ce se-nfoaie.
raza, ce pleoapa n-o-nchide ;
amintiri, ce nu-ncovoaie ;
dragoste iubind vioaie.
Ce-i mai bun in asta lume ?
– ceva din ast’ tot, as crede.
