Extinguish my eyes, I still can see you:
Close my ears, I can hear your footsteps fall:
And without feet, I still can follow you:
Voiceless I can still return your call
Break off my arms, and I can embrace you:
Enfold you with my heart as with a hand:
Hold my heart, my brain will take fire of you
As flax takes fire from a brand!
And flame will sweep in a flood:
Through all the singing currents of my blood:
Extinguish my eyes was written by Leonard Bernstein & Rainer Maria Rilke & Jessie Lemont.
