HerbsttagHerr: es ist Zeit. Der Sommer war sehr groß.Leg deinen Schatten auf die Sonnenuhren,und auf den Fluren laß die Winde los.Befiehl den letztenFrüchten voll zu sein;gieb ihnen noch zwei südlichere Tage,dränge sie zur Vollendung hin und jagedie letzte Süße in den schweren Wein.Wer jetzt kein Haus hat, baut sich keines mehr.Wer jetzt allein ist, wird es lange bleiben,wird wachen, lesen, lange Briefe schreibenund wird in den Alleen hin und herunruhig wandern, wenn die Blätter treiben.
Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)*
Autumn DayLord: it is time. The summer was very grand.Lay your shadows over the sundials,And on the meadows unleash the winds.Command the final fruits to swell to full,Grant them yet two more southerly days,Urge them on to fulfilment and pressThe final sweetness into heavy wine.He who has no home now, will build one no more.He who is alone now will remain so for very long.Will stay awake, read, write long lettersAnd will wander restlessly to and froIn the avenues while the leaves drift.
*René Karl Wilhelm Johann Josef Maria Rilke (4 December 1875 – 29 December 1926), better known as Rainer Maria Rilke was a Bohemian-Austrian poet and novelist. He is "widely recognized as one of the most lyrically intense German-language poets". He wrote both verse and highly lyrical prose. Several critics have described Rilke's work as "mystical".
