by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Mais non seulement le regard
Language: French (Français) 
Mais non seulement le regard
de ceux qui travaillent les champs,
celui des chèvres prend part
à parfaire le lent

aspect de la Noble Contrée.
On la contemple toujours
comme pour y rester ou pour
l'éterniser

dans un si grand souvenir
qu'aucun ange n'osera,
pour augmenter son éclat,
intervenir.
