by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Ich liebe vergessene Flurmadonnen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich liebe vergessene Flurmadonnen,
die ratlos warten auf irgendwen,
und Mädchen, die an einsame Bronnen,
Blumen im Blondhaar, träumen gehn.

Und Kinder, die in die Sonne singen
und staunend groß zu den Sternen sehn,
und die Tage, wenn sie mir Lieder bringen,
und die Nächte, wenn sie in Blüten stehn.
