"I am going to the House of Death,"
said the Swallow.

1:21:10
"Death is the brother of Sleep, is he not?"
1:21:13
And he kissed the Happy Prince
and fell down dead at his feet.

1:21:18
A curious crack
sounded inside the statue,

1:21:22
as if something had broken.
1:21:25
The fact is that the leaden heart
had snapped right in two.

1:21:32
"What a strange thing."
said the overseer at the foundry.

1:21:36
"This broken lead heart
will not melt in the furnace."

1:21:38
So they threw it on the dust-heap
where the dead Swallow was also lying.

1:21:43
"Bring me the two most precious things
in the city," said God.

1:21:47
The Angel brought Him
the leaden heart and the dead bird.

1:21:52
"You have rightly chosen," said God,
1:21:55
"for in my garden of Paradise,
this little bird shall sing for evermore."

1:22:02
"And in my city of gold
the Happy Prince shall praise me."

1:22:07
Come on, have your milk, darling.
1:22:09
I tell you what, if you're a good boy
and drink up all your milk,

1:22:13
you can sleep in front of the fire tonight.
1:22:16
Would you like that?
1:22:18
Yes.
