| [00:00.05] | Explanation of Love |
| [00:02.73] | |
| [00:04.61] | There is a place where love begins |
| [00:07.64] | And a place where love ends. |
| [00:11.75] | There is a touch of two hands that foils all dictionaries. |
| [00:18.04] | There is a look of eyes fierce |
| [00:20.18] | As a big Bethlehem open hearth furnace |
| [00:24.15] | Or a little green-fire acetylene torch. |
| [00:28.67] | There are single careless bywords portentous |
| [00:32.13] | As a big bend in the Mississippi River. |
| [00:35.96] | Hands, eyes, bywords– |
| [00:39.99] | Out of these love makes battlegrounds and workshops. |
| [00:45.70] | There is a pair of shoes love wears |
| [00:47.80] | And the coming is a mystery. |
| [00:51.28] | There is a warning love sends |
| [00:52.77] | And the cost of it is never written till long afterward. |
| [00:57.43] | There are explanations of love in all languages |
| [01:01.53] | And not one found wiser than this: |
| [01:06.70] | There is a place where love begins |
| [01:09.81] | And a place where love ends— |
| [01:13.16] | And love asks nothing. |
