Autumn by Rainer Maria Rilke
translation by Cliff Crego

as if withered in the distant gardens of heaven;
with nay-saying gestures they fall.

from all the stars into loneliness.
We all are falling. This hand there falls.
And look at the others: it is in all of them.
And yet there is one, who holds all this falling
with infinite gentleness in his hands.
