There are such wonderfully white nights - Rainer Maria Rilke
There are such wonderfully white nights,
In them all things are silver.
Some stars shimmer so softly,
as if they were bringing pious shepherds
to a new baby Jesus.
Wide as if sprinkled with dense diamond dust,
the meadow and the flood appear,
and into the hearts, dreamlike,
rises a chapel-less faith,
which quietly performs its miracles.
