Pe maica lui Hristos şi-aprind grăbit
Tămâie şi usturoi pe-un vas de aramă
Ea singură-n căscioară, biata mamă
Stă chip înmărmurit…(Many Christians are awake, with fear calls / Mother of Christ and-light rushed / Incense and-garlic-a bronze vessel / She single-n lodge, poor mother / chip sits stunned...)
