[00:24.35] I went out to the hazel wood because a fire was in my head
[00:33.17] And cut and pealed a hazel wand and hooked a berry to a thread
[00:41.90] And when white moths were on the wing and moth-like stars were flickering out
[00:50.68] I dropped the berry in a stream and caught a little silver trout
[01:08.15] When I had laid it on the floor, I went to blow the fire a-flame
[01:17.08] But something rustled on the floor, and someone called me by my name
[01:25.90] It had become a glimmering girl with apple blossom in her hair
[01:34.61] Who called me by my name and ran and faded through the brightening air
[02:00.91] Though I am old with wandering through hollow lands and hilly lands
[02:09.71] I will find out where she has gone and kiss her lips and take her hands
[02:18.20] And walk among long dappled grass and pluck 'til time and times are done
[02:27.35] The silver apples of the moon, the golden apples of the sun
