by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Le silence uni de l'hiver
Language: French (Français) 
Le silence uni de l'hiver.
est remplacé dans l'air
par un silence à ramage;
chaque voix qui accourt
y ajoute un contour,
y parfait une image.

Et tout cela n'est que le fond
de ce qui serait l'action
de notre cœur qui surpasse
le multiple dessin
de ce silence plein
d'inexprimable audace.
