    The Gazelle

    by Rainer Maria Rilke

    Gazella Dorcas

    Enchanted thing: how can two chosen words

    ever attain the harmony of pure rhyme

    that pulses through you as your body stirs?

    Out of your forehead branch and lyre climb

    and all your features pass in simile through

    the songs of love whose words as light as rose-

    petals rest on the face of someone who

    has put his book away and shut his eyes:

    to see you: tensed as if each leg were a gun

    loaded with leaps but not fired while your neck

    holds your head still listening: as when

    while swimming in some isolated place

    a girl hears leaves rustle and turns to look:

    the forest pool reflected in her face.
