Herbsttag. Rainer Maria Rilke.


Better, loosely translation:
The man without a house will build no more, 
the man without a mate will sole remain, 
will wake, will read, write letters long with pain
and walk the boulevards, restless to the core,
where falling leaves are drifting with the rain.
(Walter A.Aue)
