Request and a poem

Apr 30, 2008 12:00

I have a request, if that's okay. Most of my friends are graduating from college in two weeks, and I'd love to have poems about leaving, friends, anything like that. Graduation cards are so full of cheesy, horrible poems. I need something good!

And here's a lovely poem by Rainer Maria Rilke.

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.

-request, rainer maria rilke
