About this listen

A nightingale finds a young, romantic student in tears because he cannot find a red rose for his beautiful ball partner. There are no red roses in the garden. The nightingale visits all the rose trees in the area, and one of the roses tells her there is a way to produce a red rose, but only if the nightingale is prepared to sing the sweetest song for the rose all night with her heart pressing into a thorn, sacrificing her life.

Seeing the student in tears, and valuing his human life above her bird life, the nightingale carries out the ritual.

Read in English by Josh Verbae, unabridged.
