[00:11.36] Love to his singer held a glistening leaf,
[00:19.85] And said: "The rose-tree and the apple-tree
[00:31.21] Have fruits to vaunt or flowers to lure the bee;
[00:39.05] And golden shafts are in the feathered sheaf
[00:45.53] Of the great harvest-marshal, the year's chief,
[00:54.38] Victorious Summer; aye, and 'neath warm sea
[01:10.07] Strange secret grasses lurk inviolably
[01:21.74] Between the filtering channels of sunk reef.
[01:32.26]
[01:45.31] All are my blooms; and all sweet blooms of love
[01:52.46] To thee I gave while Spring and Summer sang;
[02:01.65] But Autumn stops to listen, with some pang
[02:10.24] From those worse things the wind is moaning of.
[02:28.24] Only this laurel dreads no winter days:
[02:55.84] Take my last gift; thy heart hath sung my praise."
