by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)
Translation by Vincenzo Errante (1890 - 1951)

Der Dichter
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Du entfernst dich von mir, du Stunde.
Wunden schlägt mir dein Flügelschlag.
Allein: was soll ich mit meinem Munde?
mit meiner Nacht? mit meinem Tag?

Ich habe keine Geliebte, kein Haus,
keine Stelle auf der ich lebe
Alle Dinge, an die ich mich gebe,
werden reich und geben mich aus.

Il poeta
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch) 
Ti distacchi da me, Ora, scorrendo ; 
e mi ferisce ogni tuo colpo d'ala. 
Che mai potrà, su te, la voce mia ?
Che farò delle notti e de' miei giorni ?
 
Un'amante non ho, non ho dimora ; 
luogo non ho, dove adagiar la vita. 
Ciascuna cosa, a cui mi getto in dono, 
n'è súbito ricolma; - e mi rifiuta .

Confirmed with Vincenzo Errante, Liriche (primo volume delle Opere di R.M. Rilke), Firenze, Sansoni, 1942
