Time and Again
Time and Again
Time and again, however well we know the landscape of love,
and the little church-yard with lamenting names,
and the frightfully silent ravine wherein all the others
end: time and again we go out two together,
under the old trees, lie down again and again
between the flowers, face to face with the sky.
Poem by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926), German poet.
Translated in English by J. B. Leishman
Interpreted in Ameslan/ASL by Jolanta Lapiak. April 2009.
