Landscape near Salomonsbrunn

(Rasun - Bolzano)



 
 

Country seat in tne valley
 
(pencils, 30x22 cm)  


 

Vor lauter Lauschen und Staunen sei still, 
du mein tieftiefes Leben; 
daß du weißt, was der Wind dir will, 
eh noch die Birken beben. 

Und wenn dir einmal das Schweigen sprach, 
laß deine Sinnen besiegen. 
Jedem Hauche gieb dich, gieb nach, 
er wird dich lieben und wiegen. 

Und dann meine Seele sei weit, sei weit, 
daß dir das Leben gelinge, 
breite dich wie ein Feierkleid 
über die sinnenden Dinge.

R. M. Rilke

May listening and wondering make you silent
you, my very deep life;
may you know what the wind is going to tell you
even before the birches quiver

And if sometime silence is speaking
let defeated your senses to him.
Bow and throw yourself on each breath
he wants to love and rock you.

Then, my soul, be vast be vast,
so that life may be light for you,
stretch yourself as a joy dress
over the thoughtful things.

R. M. Rilke
