Again there is darkness yet that spear of light that comes down mid poem- -magnificent author

Simply superb poem with equally superb flight of imagination.

Does anyone know of a collection that this poem is in? It is my favorite poem but I can't find it printed in any Rilke collections. Please help! Sarah sarahkstimson@gmail.com
