The Knight

Question

by Rainer Maria Rilke

The Knight rides forth in a coat of mail

Into the roar of the world.

And here is Life: the vines in the vale

And friend and foe, and the feast in the hall,

And May and the maid, and the glen and the grail;

God’s flags afloat on every wall

In a thousand streets unfurled.

"The Knight" by Rainer Maria Rilke
