World Was

sajak Rainer Maria Rilke

world was in the face of the beloved-

but suddenly in poured out:

World is outside

World is not to be grasped

Why did i not drink, as lifted it

From the full, the beloved face

World, so near my mouth scented it?

ah, i drank. i drank inexhaustibly

But i was filled up too much

World, and, drinking, i myself overflowed
