[00:09.01] Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white;
[00:14.47] Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk;
[00:18.15] Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font.
[00:22.80] The firefly wakens; waken thou with me.
[00:29.32] Now droops the milk-white peacock like a ghost,
[00:33.57] And like a ghost she glimmers on to me.
[00:38.91] Now lies the Earth all Dana? to the stars,
[00:42.70] And all thy heart lies open unto me.
[00:48.41] Now slides the silent meteor on, and leaves
[00:52.69] A shining furrow, as thy thoughts in me.
[00:58.86] Now folds the lily all her sweetness up,
[01:02.19] And slips into the bosom of the lake.
[01:07.10] So fold thyself, my dearest, thou, and slip
[01:13.40] Into my bosom and be lost in me.
[01:18.41]
