by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Parfois les amants ou ceux qui écrivent
Language: French (Français) 
Parfois les amants ou ceux qui écrivent,
trouvent des mots qui, bien qu'ils s'effacent,
laissent dans un cœur und place heureuse,
à jamais pensive...

Car il naît sous tout ce qui passe
d'invisibles persévérances ;
sans qu'ils creusent aucune trace,
quelques-uns restent des pas de la danse.
