by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Leise hör ich dich rufen
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Leise hör ich dich rufen
in jedem Flüstern und Wehn.
Auf lauter weißen Stufen,
die meine Wünsche sich schufen,
hör ich dein Zu-mir-gehn.

Jetzt weißt du von dem Gefährten,
und dass er dich liebt ... das macht:
es blühen in seinen Gärten
die lang vom Licht gekehrten
Blüten, blühn über Nacht ...
