[00:07.40] I went out to the hazel wood,
[00:17.08] Because a fire was in my head,
[00:25.49] And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
[00:32.02] And hooked a berry to a thread;
[00:40.93] And when white moths were on the wing,
[00:50.70] And moth-like stars were flickering out,
[00:59.26] I dropped the berry in a stream
[01:05.34] And caught a little silver trout.
[01:10.51]
[01:14.24] When I had laid it on the floor
[01:24.31] I went to blow the fire a-flame,
[01:32.72] But something rustled on the floor,
[01:38.98] And someone called me by my name:
[01:47.84] It had become a glimmering girl
[01:57.77] With apple blossom in her hair
[02:06.27] Who called me by my name and ran
[02:12.62] And faded through the brightening air.
[02:17.60]
[02:21.35] Though I am old with wandering
[02:30.11] Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
[02:38.89] I will find out where she has gone,
[02:45.27] And kiss her lips and take her hands;
[02:54.08] And walk among long dappled grass,
[03:03.64] And pluck till time and times are done,
[03:12.46] The silver apples of the moon,
[03:18.96] The golden apples of the sun.
