“Evening Love Song” by
Rainer Maria Rilke
🇦🇹
(
4 Dec 1875
–
29 Dec 1926
)
Translated from the German by Alfred Poulin
Ornamental clouds
compose an evening love song;
a road leaves evasively.
The new moon begins
a new chapter of our nights,
of those frail nights
we stretch out and which mingle
with these black horizontals.
