by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Einen Maitag mit dir beisammen sein
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Einen Maitag mit dir beisammen sein,
und selbander verloren ziehn
durch der Blüten duftqualmende Flammenreihn
zu der Laube von weißem Jasmin.
Und von dorten hinaus in den Maiblust schaun,
jeder Wunsch in der Seele so still ...
Und ein Glück sich mitten in Mailust baun,
ein großes, das ists, was ich will ...
