I ask you, do not take my hands;
Take my eyes, for they have seen too much.
I beg, do not revoke my speech.
Take my feet instead, so that I may never leave.
Take my mind, but not my heart.
Let me keep my hands, for they make the art.
Grant me my voice, so that I may speak.
And leave my heart, the centerpiece.
