Lyrics:
The hollow winds begin to blow,
The clouds look black, the glass is low;
Thee soot falls down, the spaniels sleep,
The spiders from their cobwebs peep.
Last night the sun went pale to bed,
The moon in halos hid her head;
The boding shepherd heaves a sigh,
For see, a rainbow spans the sky!
The walls are damp, the ditches smell,
Closed is the pink-eyed pimpernel.
Hark how the chairs and tables crack!
Old Betty's nerves are on the rack;
Loud quacks the duck, the peacocks cry,
The distant hills are seeming nigh.
How restless are the snorting swine!
The busy flies disturb the kine;
Low o'er the grass the swallow wings,
The cricket, too, how sharp he sings!
Puss on the hearth, with velvet paws,
Sits wiping o'er her whiskered jaws;
Through the clear streams the fishes rise,
And nimbly catch the incautious flies.

Lyrics by William Shakespeare (1564/1616) from "The Tempest"
All parts are performed by Matthew Curtis
- "Before you can say, "Come and go",
And Breathe twice, and cry, "So,so"
Each one, tripping on his toe,
Will be here with mop and (mow)
(Do you love me, master?no?)"
"Where the bee sucks there (suck) I:
In a cow-slips (bell) I lie;
There I couch when owls do cry.
On a bat's back (I do) fly
After (summer) merrily,
Merrily, merrily shall I live now
Under the blossom that hangs on the bough" less

Hushed are the pigeons cooing low
On dusty rafters of the loft;
And mild-eyed oxen, breathing soft,
Sleep on the fragrant hay below.
Dim shadows in the corner hide;
The glimmering lantern's rays are shed
Where one young lamb just lifts his head,
Then huddles 'gainst his mother's side.
Strange silence tingles in the air;
Through the half-open door a bar
Of light from one low-hanging star
Touches a baby's radiant hair.
No sound: the mother, kneeling, lays
Her cheek against the little face.
Oh human love! Oh heavenly grace!
'Tis yet in silence that she prays!
Ages of silence end to-night;
Then to the long-expectant earth
Glad angels come to greet His birth
In burst of music, love, and light!
