by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Aber die Winter ! Oh diese heimliche
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Aber die Winter ! Oh diese heimliche 
Einkehr der Erde. Da um die Toten
in dem reinen Rückfall der Säfte
Kühnheit sich sammelt,
künftiger Frühlinge Kühnheit.
Wo das Erdenken geschieht
unter der Starre; wo das von den großen
Sommern abgetragene Grün
wieder zum neuen
Einfall wird und zum Spiegel des Vorgefühls;
wo die Farben der Blumen
jenes Verweilen unserer Augen vergißt.
