[00:05.69]I never was struck before that hour[00:08.56]With love so sudden and so sweet.[00:13.77]Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower[00:18.09]And stole my heart away complete.[00:22.97]My face turned pale as deadly pale,[00:26.84]My legs refused to walk away,[00:29.75]And when she looked ”what could I ail?”[00:34.33]My life and all seemed turned to clay.[00:40.71]And then my blood rushed to my face[00:43.46]And took my eyesight quite away.[00:46.41]The trees and bushes round the place[00:48.76]Seemed midnight at noonday.[00:53.53]I could not see a single thing,[00:57.30]Words from my eyes did start;[01:00.83]They spoke as chords do from the string,[01:04.25]And blood burnt round my heart.[01:09.43]Are flowers the winter’s choice?[01:12.47]Is Love’s bed always snow?[01:16.02]She seemed to hear my silent voice[01:19.89]And love’s appeal to know.[01:23.28]I never saw so sweet a face[01:26.45]As that I stood before:[01:29.36]My heart has left its dwelling-place[01:32.44]And can return no more.[01:35.76]
