Explore "Moonlight Night" by Rainer Maria Rilke on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
South-German night! the ripe moon hangs above / Weaving enchantment o'er the shadowy lea. / From the old tower the hours fall heavily / Into the dark as though into the sea -- / A rustle, a call of night-watch in the grove, / Then for a while void silence fills the air; / And then a violin (from God knows where) / Awakes and slowly sings: Oh Love. Oh Love.
