[00:57.01] I went out to the hazel wood because a fire was in my head
[01:10.03] And cut and pealed a hazel wand and hooked a berry to a thread
[01:23.25] And when white moths were on the wing and moth-like stars were flickering out
[01:36.45] I dropped the berry in a stream and caught a little silver trout
[01:51.35] When I had laid it on the floor, I went to blow the fire a-flame
[02:04.34] But something rustled on the floor, and someone called me by my name
[02:17.63] It had become a glimmering girl with apple blossom in her hair
[02:30.64] Who called me by my name and ran and faded through the brightening air
[02:45.79] Though I am old with wandering through hollow lands and hilly lands
[02:58.99] I will find out where she has gone and kiss her lips and take her hands
[03:12.07] And walk among long dappled grass and pluck 'til time and times are done
[03:25.52] The silver apples of the moon, the golden apples of the sun
