by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)

Im Frühling oder im Traume
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Im Frühling oder im Traume
bin ich dir begegnet, einst,
und jetzt gehn wir zusamm durch den Herbsttag,
und du drückst mir die Hand und weinst.
Weinst du ob der jagenden Wolken?
Ob der blutroten Blätter? Kaum.
Ich fühl es : Du warst einmal glücklich
im Frühling oder im Traum ...
