Description Ich ließ meinen Engel lange nicht los

Ich ließ meinen Engel lange nicht los,
und er verarmte mir in den Armen
und wurde klein, und ich wurde groß:
und auf einmal war ich das Erbarmen,
und er eine zitternde Bitte bloß.

Da hab ich ihm seine Himmel gegeben, -
und er ließ mir das Nahe, daraus er entschwand;
er lernte das Schweben, ich lernte das Leben,
und wir haben langsam einander erkannt...

Frühe Gedichte (Engellieder)
Rainer Maria Rilke, 22.2.1898, Berlin-Wilmersdorf


unfortunately I didn't find an 'official' translation into English only a transcription from Mr. Dr. Bernd U. Krippl:

Angel Song

I didn't let go off my angel for a long time
and he reduced to poverty in my arms
and he grew little
and I grew big
all of the sudden I was the pity
and he nothing but a trembling demand
thus I gave him his heavens
and he left me all that is close
of which he vanished
he learned to walk on the clouds
I learned to walk through life
and slowly we got to know each other
since my angel is no longer guarding me
he can freely spread his wings
and break the silence of the stars
for in my lonely night he doesn't need
holding fearful hands
since my angel is no longer guarding me
