Help me identify this (French) Rilke poem. Details within.
Within the past year, I have read a Rilke poem on the Internet. I thought I had read it in an lj community -- either greatpoets or theysaid, but can't seem to turn it up.
Here's what I remember: it was one of his French poems, but I was reading it in English translation. It was short. It was about two people walking together and stopping under trees at night to talk and one of them was doing the talking again.
I'd like having an English translation to confirm that it's the one I'm looking for, but I'm actually looking for the poem in French.
Thanks for any help!

Response by poster: I think that's it, holgate! I don't actually read French, but that looks like the French version of the English one I remember reading.
(And thanks for the reminder about rilke.de. I use it for his German stuff all the time.)

(You'll find pretty much everything here, including the French poems.)
