by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)
Translation © by Anneliese Braun

Immer wieder, ob wir der Liebe
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Immer wieder, ob wir der Liebe
Landschaft auch kennen
und den kleinen Kirchof
mit seinen klagenden Namen
und die furchtbar verschweigende
Schlucht, in welcher die anderen
enden: immer wieder gehn wir
zu zweien hinaus
unter die alten Bäume,
lagern uns immer wieder
zwischen die Blumen,
gegenüber dem Himmel.
