Explore "Mary Virgin" by Rainer Maria Rilke on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
How came, how came from out thy night / Mary, so much light / And so much gloom: / Who was thy bridegroom?
Thou callest, thou callest and thou hast forgot / That thou the same art not / Who came to me / In thy Virginity.
I am still so blossoming, so young. / How shall I go on tiptoe / From childhood to Annunciation / Through the dim twilight / Into thy Garden.
