Poems by Rainer Maria Rilke
The Temptation Of St. Anthony
... Screamed for the angel, screamed without restraint ...
Song Of The Women To The Poet
... We're perfect for you bliss beyond your dreams ...
Buddha in Glory
... a billion stars go spinning through the night, ...
The Blindman's Song
... Each morning the sunlight comes into your house, ...
I Am, O Anxious One
... They yearn so high, that they have sprouted wings ...
The Spanish Dancer
... into passionate flames, till it becomes a furnace ...
Elegy IV
... And lovers, are they not forever invading one another's ...
Abishag
... The stars trembled, and fragrance searched the room, ...
You Must Not Understand This Life (with original German)
... so wie ein Kind im Weitergehen von jedem Wehen ...
Time and Again
... TIme and again, however well we know the landscape of love, ...
Portrait of my Father as a Young Man
... were the first to grasp the distance and dissolve ...
Fear of the Inexplicable
... Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless ...
Lament
... which one, at the end of its beam in the sky, ...
Pont Du Carrousel
... Beside which other paths look snarled and curled, ...
My Life
... The ripple of water, the shade of the sky ...
