Text to be translated

Source language: German

Nächstens will ich mit dem Engel reden,
ob er meine Augen anerkennt.
Remarks about the translation
These are the first two verses from an uncollected (and not well known) poem by Rainer Maria Rilke, written in 25.9.1914.
I know the whole poem by heart, and understand well its meaning (even I've translated it into my own mother tongue); but I'd love to read these two verses in Latin, and in classical Greek.
A fancy, perhaps; but quite an urge as well...
