by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Oft fühl ich in scheuen Schauern
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Oft fühl ich in scheuen Schauern,
wie tief ich im Leben bin.
Die Worte sind nur die Mauern.
Dahinter in immer blauern
Bergen schimmert ihr Sinn.

Ich weiß von keinm die Marken,
aber ich lauch in sein Land.
Hör an den Hängen die Harken
und das Baden der Barken
und die Stille am Strand.
