What are the lyrics la rose complete?

Answer 1

La rose complete

( Rainer Maria Rilke, from Les Roses)

J'ai une telle conscience de ton etre,

rose complete,

que mon consentement te confond

avec mon coeur en fete.

Je te resprire comme si tu etais, rose,

toute la vie,

et je me sense l'ami parfait

d'une telle amie.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

I have such awareness of your being,

perfect rose,

that my will unites you

with my heart in celebration.

I breathe you in, rose, as if you were

all of life,

and I feel the perfect friend

of a perfect friend.
