by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Ich möchte draußen dir begegnen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich möchte draußen dir begegnen,
wenn Mai auf Wunder Wunder häuft,
und wenn ein leises Seelensegnen
von allen Zweigen niederträuft.

Wenn bis zum Wegkreuz auf, zum schlanken,
Jasmin die weißen Arme streckt
und lind den ewgen Wehgedanken
der Stirne Christi überdeckt.
