Five Songs: Extinguish My Eyes...

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 -
Enclose 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.
