Listen in the reader

Caspar am I: the rocky North From storm and silence drave me forth Down to the blue and tideless sea. I do not fear the tinkling sword, For I am a great battle-lord, And love the horns of chivalry. And I have brought thee splendid gold, The strong man's joy, refined and cold. All hail, thou Prince of Galilee!
