by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Immer wieder, ob wir der Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Chosen for Diff
Immer wieder, ob wir der Liebe
Landschaft auch kennen
und den kleinen Kirchof
mit seinen klagenden Namen
und die furchtbar verschweigende
Schlucht, in welcher die anderen
enden: immer wieder gehn wir
zu zweien hinaus
unter die alten Bäume,
lagern uns immer wieder
zwischen die Blumen,
gegenüber dem Himmel.
