by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Alle, welche dich suchen
 (Sung text for setting by A. Schoenberg)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  FRE
Alle, welche dich suchen, versuchen dich.
Und die, so dich finden, binden dich
An Bild und Gebärde.

Ich aber will dich begreifen,
Wie dich die Erde begreift;
Mit meinem Reifen
Reift
Dein Reich.

Ich will von dir keine Eitelkeit,
Die dich beweist.
Ich weiß, daß die Zeit
Anders heißt
Als du.

Tu mir kein Wunder zulieb.
Gib deinen Gesetzen recht,
Die von Geschlecht zu Geschlecht
Sichtbarer sind.
