Explore "I Live my Life in Circles" by Rainer Maria Rilke on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I live my life in circles that grow wide / And endlessly unroll, / I may not reach the last, but on I glide / Strong pinioned toward my goal.
About the old tower, dark against the sky, / The beat of my wings hums, / I circle about God, sweep far and high / On through milleniums.
Am I a bird that skims the clouds along, / Or am I a wild storm, or a great song?
