In this town the last house stands Lyrics by Mark Abel

Five Poems of Rainer Maria Rilke

0

In this town the last house stands
As lonely as if it were the last house in the world
The highway, which the tiny town is not able to stop
Slowly goes deeper out into the night
The tiny town is only a passing-over place
Worried and afraid, between two huge spaces --
A path running past houses instead of a bridge
And those who leave the town wander a long way off
And many perhaps die on the road
