Rainer Maria Rilke
The Great Homesickness
[Verse]
Oh how we love you, the gentlest of Ways
Who ripens us as we wrestle with you
On the day that you made us, you created yourself
And we grow sturdy in your sunlight

[Chorus]
The great homesickness we could never shake off
The forest that always surrounded us
You, the song that we sang within every silence
The dark net threading through
I love you

[Outro]
Oh, I love you
Oh, I love you
