With my old man's wrinkled hand, <br />with my old man's squinting eyes, <br />let me hold your lovely hand, <br />let me guard your lovely eyes. <br />Worlds have tumbled, through their fall <br />like a wild beast chased by fright <br />I came, and I on you did call <br />scared, I wait with you inside. <br />With my old man's wrinkled hand, <br />with my old man's squinting eyes, <br />let me hold your lovely hand, <br />let me guard your lovely eyes. <br />I do not know why, how long <br />can I thus remain for you - <br />but I hold your lovely hand <br />and I guard your lovely eyes.<br /><br />Endre Ady<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-guard-your-eyes/
