by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Die Fenster glühten an dem stillen Haus
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Die Fenster glühten an dem stillen Haus,
der ganze Garten war voll Rosendüften.
Hoch spannte über weißen Wolkenklüften
der Abend in den unbewegten Lüften
die Schwingen aus.

Ein Glockenton ergoß sich auf die Au....
Lind wie ein Ruf aus himmlischen Bezirken,
Und heimlich über flüstervollen Birken
sah ich die Nacht die ersten Sterne wirken
ins blasse Blau.
