00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.090 align:middle line:90%
The Parents.

00:00:03.090 --> 00:00:06.360 align:middle line:84%
Now I would say the
fancier of my goods

00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:11.070 align:middle line:84%
had better be aware of
second hand other decades.

00:00:11.070 --> 00:00:13.500 align:middle line:84%
By the river of
murder, the woods

00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:18.960 align:middle line:84%
are airy green and close
by lies the tilled land.

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:24.950 align:middle line:84%
The water is ageless, in pools
the sandy bottom may be seen.

00:00:24.950 --> 00:00:28.550 align:middle line:84%
In a dream the young girl
and the impeccable young man

00:00:28.550 --> 00:00:32.240 align:middle line:84%
strolled with a wicker
basket slung between.

00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:34.550 align:middle line:90%
He has given her an umbrella.

00:00:34.550 --> 00:00:38.690 align:middle line:84%
Do you believe he held her in
the river till she drowned?

00:00:38.690 --> 00:00:42.650 align:middle line:84%
Her wan smile wavers
with the water's wave.

00:00:42.650 --> 00:00:45.860 align:middle line:84%
I have seen it in
pictures. My mother found

00:00:45.860 --> 00:00:47.480 align:middle line:90%
the deed intolerable.

00:00:47.480 --> 00:00:50.240 align:middle line:90%
She said it many times.

00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:53.660 align:middle line:84%
In her solid flesh
and convincing smile,

00:00:53.660 --> 00:00:56.480 align:middle line:84%
she held the
elements of weeping.

00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:01.130 align:middle line:84%
She pilfered the young man's
heinous crimes. In the night

00:01:01.130 --> 00:01:05.239 align:middle line:84%
I waked to his snores
from a death's sleeping.

00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:09.290 align:middle line:84%
In the bodies of comfortable
middle age one sets

00:01:09.290 --> 00:01:12.110 align:middle line:90%
the tombstones of children.

00:01:12.110 --> 00:01:15.410 align:middle line:84%
I would have them die
this way by the river

00:01:15.410 --> 00:01:21.100 align:middle line:84%
without the sadness and broken
veins of a mounting rage.

00:01:21.100 --> 00:01:22.000 align:middle line:90%
