Explore "Alone Thou Wanderest" by Rainer Maria Rilke on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Alone Thou wanderest through space, / Profound One with the hidden face; / Thou art Poverty's great rose, / The eternal metamorphose / Of gold into the light of sun.
Thou art the mystic homeless One; / Into the world Thou never came, / Too mighty Thou, too great to name; / Voice of the storm, Song that the wild wind sings, / Thou Harp that shatters those who play Thy strings!
