Rainer Maria Rilke - Germany

Song of the Sea

(Capri, Piccola Marina)

Rainer Maria Rilke - Austria

Timeless sea breezes,
sea-wind of the night:
you come for no one;
if someone should wake,
he must be prepared
how to survive you.

Timeless sea breezes,
that for aeons have
blown ancient rocks,
you are purest space
coming from afar...

Oh, how a fruit-bearing
fig tree feels your coming
high up in the moonlight.
