[00:00:01] An extract from Winter In Northumberland

[00:00:04] By Algernon Charles Swinburne

[00:00:08] Outside the garden

[00:00:10] The wet skies harden

[00:00:13] The gates are barred on

[00:00:14] The summer side

[00:00:16] Shut out the flower-time

[00:00:19] Sunbeam and shower-time

[00:00:21] Make way for our time

[00:00:23] Wild winds have cried

[00:00:26] Green once and cheery

[00:00:28] The woods

[00:00:28] Worn weary

[00:00:30] Sigh as the dreary

[00:00:31] Weak sun goes home

[00:00:34] A great wind grapples

[00:00:36] The wave

[00:00:36] And dapples

[00:00:37] The dead green floor of the sea with foam

[00:00:42] Draw the white curtain

[00:00:44] Close

[00:00:45] And be certain

[00:00:46] She takes no hurt in

[00:00:47] Her soft low bed

[00:00:49] She feels no colder

[00:00:51] And grows not older

[00:00:53] Though snows enfold her

[00:00:55] From foot to head

[00:00:57] She turns not chilly

[00:00:59] Like w**d and lily

[00:01:00] In marsh or hilly

[00:01:02] High watershed

[00:01:04] Or green soft island

[00:01:05] In lakes of highland

[00:01:07] She sleeps awhile

[00:01:09] And she is not dead

[00:01:13] O stout Northeaster

[00:01:16] Sea-king land-waster

[00:01:18] For all thine haste or

[00:01:20] Thy stormy skill

[00:01:22] Yet hadst thou never

[00:01:23] For all endeavour

[00:01:25] Strength to dissever

[00:01:27] Or strength to spill

[00:01:29] Save of his giving

[00:01:31] Who gave our living

[00:01:32] Whose hands are weaving

[00:01:34] What ours fulfill

[00:01:36] Whose feet tread under

[00:01:37] The storms and thunder

[00:01:39] Who made our wonder to work his will

[00:01:43] His years and hours

[00:01:45] His world's blind powers

[00:01:48] His stars and flowers

[00:01:50] His nights and days

[00:01:53] Sea tide and river

[00:01:54] And waves that shiver

[00:01:56] Praise God the giver

[00:01:58] Of tongues to praise

[00:02:00] Winds in their blowing

[00:02:02] And fruits in growing

[00:02:04] Time in its going

[00:02:06] While time shall be

[00:02:08] In death and living

[00:02:10] With one thanksgiving

[00:02:13] Praise him whose hand is the strength of the sea
