That is my window. Just now
I have so softly wakened.
I thought that I would float.
How far does my life reach,
and where does the night beginI could think that everything
was still me all around;
transparent like a crystal's
depths, darkened, mute.I could keep even the stars
within me; so immense
my heart seems to me; so willingly
it let him go again.whom I began perhaps to love, perhaps to hold. Like something strange, undreamt-of, my fate now gazes at me.
For what, then, am I stretched out
beneath this endlessness,
exuding fragrance like a meadow,
swayed this way and that,calling out and frightened
that someone will hear the call,
and destined to disappear
inside some other life.Poem by Rainer Maria Rilke
