by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)
Vois‑tu, là‑haut, ces alpages des anges
Language: French (Français)
Vois-tu, là-haut, ces alpages des anges entre les sombres sapins ? Presque célestes, à la lumière étrange, ils semblent plus que loin. Mais dans la claire vallée et jusques aux crêtes, quel trésor aérien ! Tout ce qui flotte dans l'air et qui s'y reflète entrera dans ton vin.
