Extinguish Thou My Eyes
Read 'Extinguish Thou My Eyes' by 'Rainer Maria Rilke' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
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 Thee
with 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.
