[length: 03:46]
[00:04.84]Once upon a time there was a garden
[00:17.76]On a high hill
[00:21.91]Green and blossomin’ ’round against the sea
[00:29.76]And there the sun came
[00:33.78]And the rain pourin’ down
[00:40.36]Garden grew and flourished
[00:46.15]And splattered bits of color on the ground
[00:50.63]And it took shape and symmetry
[01:02.74]And all of life around
[01:10.40]But there came winds
[01:15.78]Driven and howling, there came snow
[01:22.74]And I feared for the garden
[01:28.69]So I built a wall
[01:33.03]And I built another and roofed it over
[01:39.58]Thick and strong
[01:44.01]And kept it from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
[01:51.36]The killing cold could not get in
[01:57.65]But when the sun came
[02:01.51]
[02:07.66]And the gentle rain of spring
[02:11.82]
[02:17.63]They could not reach the garden behind those walls
[02:26.14]
[02:29.25]It would have died
[02:33.03]Safely, securely died
[02:43.13]But as I longed and as I learned
[02:56.04]I tore the walls all down
[03:04.04]
[03:33.80]The garden still lives
