by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Douce courbe le long du lierre

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: ENG

Douce courbe le long du lierre,
chemin distrait qu'arrêtent des chèvres ;
belle lumière qu'un orfèvre
voudrait entourer d'une pierre.

Peuplier, à sa place juste,
qui oppose sa verticale
à la lente verdure robuste
qui s'étire et qui s'étale.
