Extinguish Thou my eyes:
I still can see Thee,deprive my ears of sound:
I still can hear Thee,and without feet I still can come to Thee,and without voice I still can call to Thee.
Sever my arms from me,
I still will hold Theewith all my heart as with a single hand,arrest my heart, my brain will keep on beating,and Should Thy fire at last my brain consume,the flowing of my blood will carry Thee.
Translated by Albert Ernest Flemming
