by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)
Herbst‑Abend
Language: German (Deutsch)
Wind aus dem Mond, plötzlich ergriffene Bäume und ein tastend fallendes Blatt. Durch die Zwischenräume der schwachen Laternen drängt die schwarze Landschaft der Fernen in die unentschlossene Stadt.
Confirmed with Rainer Maria Rilke, Die Gedichte, Leipzig: Insel Verlag, 2010
