By Attila József. Original. Song. Words in parentheses should be said/sung quickly, and in the case of "Of" a fraction of a beat before the beginning (sort of; or at least it seems to me that way).
Mysteries when they sing, make me
Stand to guard like tales of old
Dressed me love, in clothes heavy
(Of) faithful chains, from neck to toe.
Calls the wind and calls the stream
Blushing when you understand
Calls the eye and calls the heart
Reaching out for your dear hand.
So I write my song with care:
If I should love (you) eternally
Please unburden what I bear
This difficult loyalty.
