back to Rainer Maria Rilke
“Evening” by
Rainer Maria Rilke
🇦🇹
(
4 Dec 1875
–
29 Dec 1926
)
Translated from the German
The bleak fields are asleep
My heart alone wakes;
The evening in the harbour
Down his red sails takes.
Night guardian of dreams
Now wanders through the land;
The moon a lily white
Blossoms within her hand.
