Harshness vanishing


Early Spring

  •  

    by Rainer Maria Rilke

     

    Harshness vanished. A sudden softness

    has replaced the meadows' wintry grey.

    Little rivulets of water changed

    their singing accents.

    Tendernesses, hesitantly, reach toward the earth

    from space, and country lanes are showing

    these unexpected subtle risings

    that find expression in the empty trees.
