Greek Love-Talk Poem by Rainer Maria Rilke

Greek Love-Talk

Rating: 2.8


What I have already learned as a lover,
I see you, beloved, learning angrily;
then for you it distantly departed,
now your destiny stands in all the stars.

Over your breasts we will together contend:
since as glowingly shining they've ripened,
so also your hands desire to touch them
and their own pleasure superintend.
