Wer kennt diese Gedichte von Rilke?

[weibao]

Zur Zeit interessiert mich Rilke und studiere ich seine GEdichte, aber wegen dem schwächen Sprachkenntnis lese ich meisten die Übersetztungen auf meinem Muttersprach.( Leider ist Deutsch nicht mein Muttersprach :? )
Jetzt bitte ich Ihnen, Ob jemand von Ihnen dieses Gedicht "Das Lied der Bildsäule" von Rilke kennt, brauche ich den originale Text und englische Übersetzung!
In Erwartung Ihrer baldigen Antwort!
Danke sehr! :)

DAS LIED DER BILDSÄULE

Wer ist es, wer mich so liebt, daß er
sein liebes Leben verstößt?
Wenn einer für mich ertrinkt im Meer,
so bin ich vom Steine zur Wiederkehr
ins Leben, ins Leben erlöst.

Ich sehne mich so nach dem rauschenden Blut;
der Stein ist so still.
Ich träume vom Leben: das Leben ist gut.
Hat keiner den Mut,
durch den ich erwachen will?

Und werd ich einmal im Leben sein,
das mir alles Goldenste giebt, -
---------------------------
so werd ich allein
weinen, weinen nach meinem Stein.
Was hilft mir mein Blut, wenn es reift wie der Wein?
Es kann aus dem Meer nicht den Einen schrein,
der mich am meisten geliebt.

Das Gedicht steht im 'Buch der Bilder' (Erster Teil)

Leider habe ich den Text zu 'The Song of the sSatue' nicht zur Verfügung, aber er ist in der folgenden Ausgabe:

Edward Hirsch
"Edward Snow, who so insightfully translated two volumes of Rilke's New Poems, has now turned to The Book of Images, one of the poet's most startling and diverse masterworks. Snow has rendered with great skill and accuracy a work both familiar and unknown, more complicated and more immediate than many have suspected, at once grave, mysterious, and beautiful."

Great poetry, great translation, great text, August 4, 2002
Reviewer: Glenn McDorman (see more about me) from Lisle, IL United States
Rilke ranks among the world's greatest poets. Each poem in the Book of Images is an elegant snapshot of a beautiful world. Snow's translation is superb, and he is commonly regarded as the preeminent English translator of Rilke's poetry. This text contains the translation and the original German side-by-side so that readers can gain a better appreciation of Rilke. The Snow translatio of the Book of Images is one of the greatest English-language poetic achievements.

A superb translation of 'Das Buch der Bilder'!, January 28, 2001
Reviewer: jrabideau (see more about me) from Denver, Colorado USA
Rilke is that poet that you, if you are tormented by memories of high-school poetry lessons past (dactylic metre sound vaguely familiar?), ought try. His imagery is accessible, his meaning clear...and he manages simultaneously a beautiful degree of both spiritual and metaphorical richness.

Snow's translations of Rilke's poetry are superb; he consistently preserves the metric structure and is also conscious of the need to employ every word and consider every nuance of meaning, rather than simply settling for glossing it (a surprisingly common problem in poetry translation). In the challenging world of finding faithful poetry translation, Snow's work is outstanding...and the original material to my sense of literary aesthetics unsurpassed...little of Rilke's beauty is sacrificed in the execution of this translation. Rilke's simultaneous spareness, sensitivity, and richness endure here; rather than imposing himself upon the reader, Snow succeeds admirably at the translator's task, and brings Rilke to the English-speaking audience.

Direct prose that is needed in this vague world, July 21, 2000
Reviewer: Lola Stephenson (see more about me) from Dublin, Ireland
Rilke's poems are simple, describing everything for the reader. He never overpowers with metaphors and deeper meanings.

A marvelous translation of Rilke, June 9, 2000
Reviewer: Robin from Vermont
Edward Snow has captured the essential grace of Rilke's poetry without sacrificing faithfulness to the original text. In this book of wonderful and exquisite poems, the lyric genius of Rilke comes through; Snow's own poetic sensibility is also clear. Some of my favorite Rilke poems (such as "Autumn" or "Memory") are rendered here in a way that perfectly suits their quiet, holy sense of both solitude and communion. Read it.

Zur Zeit interessiert mich Rilke und studiere ich seine GEdichte, aber wegen dem schwächen Sprachkenntnis lese ich meisten die Übersetztungen auf meinem Muttersprach.( Leider ist Deutsch nicht mein Muttersprach )
Jetzt bitte ich Ihnen, Ob jemand von Ihnen dieses Gedicht "Das Lied der Bildsäule" von Rilke kennt, brauche ich den originale Text und englische Übersetzung!
In Erwartung Ihrer baldigen Antwort!
Danke sehr!

Das Lied der Bildsäule

WER ist es, wer mich so liebt daß er
sein liebes Leben verstößt?
Wenn einer für mich ertrinkt im Meer,
so bin ich vom Steine zur Wiederkehr
ins Leben, ins Leben erlöst.

Ich sehne mich so nach dem rauschenden Blut;
der Stein ist so still.
Ich träume vom Leben: das Leben ist gut.
Hat keiner den Mut,
durch den ich erwachen will?

Und werd ich einmal im Leben sein,
das mir alles Goldenste giebt, -
------------------------------------------
so werd ich allein
weinen, weinen nach meinem Stein.
Was hilft mir mein Blut, wenn es reift wie der Wein?
Es kann aus dem Meer nicht den Einen schrein,
der mich am meisten geliebt.

THE SONG OF THE STATUE


Who is there who so loves me, that he
will throw away his own dear life?
If someone will die for me in the ocean,
I will be brought back from stone
into life, into life redeemed.

How I long for blood's rushing;
stone is so still.
I dream of life: life is good.
Has no one the courge
through which I might awaken?

And if I once more find myself in life,
given everything most golden,-
---------------------------------
then I will weep
alone, weep for my stone.
What help will my blood be, where it ripens like wine?
It cannot scream out of the ocean
he who loved me most.
