by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)
L’année tourne autour du pivot
Language: French (Français)
L’année tourne autour du pivot de la constance paysanne ; la Vierge et sainte Anne disent chacune leur mot. D’autres paroles s’ajoutent plus anciennes encor, — elles bénissent toutes et de la terre sort cette verdure soumise qui, par un long effort, donne la grappe prise entre nous et les morts.
