by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Vergiß, vergiß und laß uns jetzt nur...
Language: English 
Vergiß, vergiß und laß uns jetzt nur dies
erleben, wie die Sterne durch geklärten
Nachthimmel dringen; wie der Mond die Gärten
voll übersteigt. Wir fühlten längst schon, wies
spiegelnder wird im Dunkel; wie ein Schein
entsteht, ein weißer Schatten in dem Glanz
der Dunkelheit. Nun aber laß uns ganz
hinübertreten in die Welt hinein
die monden ist –
