[00:10.90] Your hands lie open in the long fresh grass,--
[00:21.27] The finger-points look through like rosy blooms:
[00:31.98] Your eyes smile peace. The pasture gleams and glooms
[00:45.81] 'Neath billowing skies that scatter and amass.
[01:10.57] All round our nest, far as the eye can pass,
[01:18.10] Are golden kingcup-fields with silver edge
[01:25.73] Where the cow-parsley skirts the hawthorn-hedge.
[01:34.57] 'Tis visible silence, still as the hour-glass.
[01:48.21]
[01:56.45] Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragon-fly
[02:04.94] Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky:--
[02:20.75] So this wing'd hour is dropt to us from above.
[02:43.48] Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower,
[02:54.94] This close-companioned inarticulate hour
[03:05.38] When twofold silence was the song of love.
