back to Rainer Maria Rilke

“Evening” by Rainer Maria Rilke 🇦🇹 (4 Dec 187529 Dec 1926)
Translated from the German by Jessie Lemont
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.
