Rainer Maria Rilke - Sacrifice

Rainer Maria Rilke - Sacrifice

How my body blooms from every vein br more fragrantly, since you appeard to me; br look, I walk slimmer now and straighter, br and all you do is wait-:who are you then? br br Look: I feel how I'm moving away, br how I'm shedding my old life, leaf by leaf. br Only your smile spreads like sheer stars br over you and, soon now, over me. br br Whatever shines through my childhood years br still nameless and gleaming like water, br I will name after you at the altar, br which is blazing brightly from your hair br and braided gently with your breasts.
