by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

So bin ich nur als Kind erwacht
 (Sung text for setting by J. Weismann)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
So bin ich nur als Kind erwacht,
so sicher im Vertraun
nach jeder Angst und jeder Nacht
dich wieder anzuschaun.
Ich weiß, sooft mein Denken misst,
wie tief, wie lang, wie weit - :
du aber bist und bist und bist,
umzittert von der Zeit.

 ...
