Rainer Maria Rilke

Evening Love Song

Evening Love Song - meaning Summary

Night Folded Into Intimacy

The poem paints a brief evening scene that links landscape and feeling. Ornamental clouds and a departing road set a mood of gentle distance while a new moon marks the start of another cycle. These “frail nights” suggest vulnerability and intimacy as they stretch and blend with dark horizons. Overall it meditates on transience and continuity: small natural changes mirror shifting emotional states between closeness and elusiveness.

Ornamental clouds compose an evening love song; a road leaves evasively. The new moon begins a new chapter of our nights, of those frail nights we stretch out and which mingle with these black horizontals.
