| [00:00.16] | Monotone |
| [00:01.99] | |
| [00:03.47] | The monotone of the rain is beautiful, |
| [00:06.54] | And the sudden rise and slow relapse |
| [00:09.00] | Of the long multitudinous rain. |
| [00:11.68] | |
| [00:12.40] | The sun on the hills is beautiful, |
| [00:15.36] | Or a captured sunset see-flung, |
| [00:18.37] | Bannered with fire and gold. |
| [00:21.57] | |
| [00:23.12] | A face I know is beautiful-- |
| [00:26.03] | With fire and gold of sky and sea, |
| [00:31.02] | And the peace of long warm rain. |
