A Birthday by Christina Rossetti.
Leonard WilsonNARRATOR
My heart is like a singing bird Whose nest is in a water'd shoot; My heart is like an apple tree Whose boughs are bent with thick-set fruit; My heart is like a rainbow shell That paddles in a halcyon sea; My heart is gladder than all these Because my love is come to me.
Leonard WilsonNARRATOR
Raise me a dais of silken down; Hang it with vair and purple dyes; Carve it in doves and pomegranates, And peacocks with a hundred eyes; Work it in gold and silver grapes, In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lis; Because the birthday of my life Is come, my love is come to me.
