Night<\/em><\/h2>\n

Night. O you whose countenance, dissolved
\nin deepness, hovers above my face.
\nYou who are the heaviest counterweight
\nto my astounding contemplation.
\nNight, that trembles as reflected in my eyes,
\nbut in itself strong;
\ninexhaustible creation, dominant,
\nenduring beyond the earth’s endurance;
\nNight, full of newly created stars that leave
\ntrails of fire streaming from their seams
\nas they soar in inaudible adventure
\nthrough interstellar space:
\nhow, overshadowed by your all-embracing vastness,
\nI appear minute!—
\nYet, being one with the ever more darkening earth,
\nI dare to be in you.<\/p>\n

Rainer Maria Rilke
