my head foaming clouds sea inside me and outA
I am a walnut tree in Gulhane ParkB

Neither you are aware of this nor the policeD

I am a walnut tree in Gulhane ParkB
My leaves are nimble nimble like fish in waterE
My leaves are sheer sheer like a silk handkerchiefF
pick wipe my rose the tear from your eyesG
My leaves are my hands I have one hundred thousandH
I touch you with one hundred thousand hands I touch IstanbulI
My leaves are my eyes I look in amazementJ
I watch you with one hundred thousand eyes I watch IstanbulI
Like one hundred thousand hearts beat beat my leavesK
-
I am a walnut tree in Gulhane ParkB
neither you are aware of this nor the policeD
