[00:08.09] | O, TO be in England |
[00:10.27] | Now that April's there, |
[00:12.66] | And whoever wakes in England sees, some morning, unaware, |
[00:17.10] | That the lowest boughs and the brushwood sheaf |
[00:19.98] | Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf, |
[00:22.67] | While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough |
[00:26.32] | In England—now! |
[00:29.61] | And after April, when May follows, |
[00:32.08] | And the white throat builds, and all the swallows! |
[00:35.43] | Hark, where my blossom'd pear-tree in the hedge |
[00:38.17] | Leans to the field and scatters on the clover |
[00:40.90] | Blossoms and dewdrops—at the bent spray's edge |
[00:45.95] | That's the wise thrush; he sings each song twice over, |
[00:50.71] | Lest you should think he never could recapture |
[00:53.18] | The first fine careless rapture! |
[00:58.45] | And though the fields look rough with hoary dew, |
[01:01.33] | All will be gay when noontide wakes anew The buttercups, |
[01:05.89] | the little children's dower |
[01:08.67] | Far brighter than this gaudy melon-flower! |
