[00:00.79] Sinburne Stomp Swinburne Stomp
[00:03.17] Swinburne Stomp
[00:05.28] Nobody stomps like the Swinburne Stomp
[00:14.06] The Swinburne Stomp
[00:21.63] Before the beginning of years
[00:25.09] There came to the making of man
[00:28.01] Time with a gift of tears
[00:30.91] Grief, with a glass than ran
[00:33.81] Pleasure, with pain for leaven
[00:36.51] Summer, with flowers that fell
[00:39.37] Remembrance fallen from heaven
[00:42.06] And madness risen from hell
[00:44.82] Strength without hands to smite
[00:47.48] Love that endures for a breath:
[00:50.22] Night, the shadow of light
[00:52.96] And life, the shadow of death
[00:55.60] And the high gods took in hand
[00:58.30] Fire, and the falling of tears
[01:00.86] And a measure of sliding sand
[01:03.31] From under the feet of the years
[01:05.71] And froth and drift of the sea
[01:08.25] And dust of the laboring earth
[01:10.54] And bodies of things to be
[01:12.96] In the houses of death and of birth;
[01:15.29] And wrought with weeping and laughter
[01:17.78] And fashioned with loathing and love
[01:20.05] With life before and after
[01:22.37] And death beneath and above,
[01:24.85] For a day and a night and a morrow
[01:27.29] That his strength might endure for a span
[01:29.93] With travail and heavy sorrow
[01:33.01] The holy spirit of man.
[01:36.22] From the winds of the north and the south
[01:39.10] They gathered as unto strife
[01:41.65] They breathed upon his mouth
[01:44.33] They filled his body with life
[01:46.95] Eyesight and speech they wrought
[01:49.50] For the veils of the souls within
[01:51.90] A time for labor and thought
[01:54.67] A time to serve and to sin;
[01:57.35] They gave him light in his ways
[01:59.95] And love and space for delight
[02:02.55] And beauty and length of days
[02:05.05] And night, and sleep in the night
[02:07.72] His speech is a burning fire
[02:12.23] With his lips he travaileth
[02:14.94] In his heart is a blind desire
[02:17.99] In his eyes foreknowledge of death
[02:21.59] He weaves and is clothed in derision
[02:27.54] He sows and she shall not reap
[02:30.53] His life is a watch or a vision
[02:34.63] Between a sleep and a sleep
