Bodensee

Die Dörfer sind wie ein Garten
In Türmen von seltsamen Arten
klingen die Glocken wie weh,
Uferschlösser warten
und schauen [aus]1 schwarzen Scharten
müd auf den Mittagssee.
Und [silberne Wellen]2 spielen
und goldene Dampfer kielen
leise den lichten [Lauf.
Und]3 hinter den Uferzielen
tauchen die vielen, vielen 
Silberberge auf.

by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) , "Bodensee", from Advent, in Fahrten
