天鹅
那些劳作 那些还未完成的事情
是我们的牵绊，束缚着我们的手脚
我们踽踽而行 如天鹅一般步履蹒跚
而死亡 - 让我们放下 脱离
我们每天站立和依附的土地
就像是天鹅 迟疑着降落
进入水中 水温柔地抽身而退
接受它容纳它
欢快地 在它的身前身后流淌
波浪追逐着波浪
而现在的它 神闲气定
随着水流的托举
从容优雅地滑行
This laboring through what is still undone,
as though, legs bound, we hobbled along the way,
is like the awkward walking of the swan.
And dying-to let go, no longer feel
the solid ground we stand on every day-
is like anxious letting himself fall
into waters, which receive him gently
and which, as though with reverence and joy,
draw back past him in streams on either side;
while, infinitely silent and aware,
in his full majesty and ever more
indifferent, he condescends to glide.

by Rainer Maria Rilke
This laboring of ours with all that remains undone,
as if still bound to it,
is like the lumbering gait of the swan.
And then our dying—releasing ourselves
from the very ground on which we stood—
is like the way he hesitantly lowers himself
into the water. It gently receives him,
and, gladly yielding, flows back beneath him,
as wave follows wave,
while he, now wholly serene and sure,
with regal composure,
allows himself to glide.

THE SWAN’ BY RAINER MARIA RILKE (TRANSLATED BY ROBERT BLY)
This clumsy living that moves lumbering
as if in ropes through what is not done,
reminds us of the awkward way the swan walks.
And to die, which is the letting go
of the ground we stand on and cling to every day,
is like the swan, when he nervously lets himself down
into the water, which receives him gaily
and which flows joyfully under
and after him, wave after wave,
while the swan, unmoving and marvelously calm,
is pleased to be carried, each moment more fully grown,
more like a king, further and further on

也才注意到。
小c写个影评吧。：）
我原来也以为是写天鹅，其实是写人活着和死亡的状态。第一段写活着的状态，第二段是由生到死，对生的状态的脱离和对死亡状态的犹疑。 第三段是写死亡的状态，脱离生的苦痛和牵绊，进入死（虚无）的自由态。水是死神的象征。
里尔克生命的最后几年受病痛煎熬，在他的眼里，死是一种自由和解脱 ：）
