[00:00.600] Sleeping out: full moon
[00:03.970] By Rupert Brooke
[00:41.390] They sleep within. . . .
[00:52.080] I cower to the earth,
[00:56.430] I waking, I only.
[01:00.650] High and cold thou dreamest, O queen, high-dreaming and lonely.
[01:15.560] They sleep within. . . .
[01:24.150] They sleep within. . . .
[01:32.900] We have slept too long
[01:36.960] Who can hardly win
[01:41.910] The white one flame, and the night-long crying
[01:52.220] The viewless passers
[01:58.700] The world's low sighing
[02:05.130] With desire, with yearning
[02:12.320] To the fire unburning
[02:16.920] To the heatless fire
[02:25.440] To the flameless ecstasy! . . .
[03:11.520] Helpless I lie.
[03:22.240] And around me the feet of thy watchers tread.
[03:39.330] There is a rumour and a radiance of wings above my head
[03:51.210] An intolerable radiance of wings. . . .
[04:01.400] All the earth grows fire
[04:05.110] White lips of desire
[04:09.320] Brushing cool on the forehead, croon slumbrous things.
[04:13.660] Earth fades; and the air is thrilled with ways
[04:17.320] Dewy paths full of comfort. And radiant bands
[04:26.800] The gracious presence of friendly hands
[04:29.390] Help the blind one, the glad one, who stumbles and strays
[04:34.800] Stretching wavering hands, up, up through the praise
[04:42.200] Of a myriad silver trumpets, through cries
[04:48.600] To all glory, to all gladness, to the infinite height
[04:54.190] To the gracious, the unmoving, the mother eyes
[04:58.460] And the laughter, and the lips of light.
