00:00:01.380 --> 00:00:03.630 align:middle line:84%
One more little
lyric from this book,

00:00:03.630 --> 00:00:06.940 align:middle line:84%
and then I'm going to read a few
recent poems as yet uncollected

00:00:06.940 --> 00:00:07.830 align:middle line:90%
for you.

00:00:07.830 --> 00:00:10.980 align:middle line:84%
Some of which I
haven't read before.

00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:16.020 align:middle line:84%
This one is called "Lying
Now in the New Grass."

00:00:16.020 --> 00:00:17.790 align:middle line:90%
"Lying now in the new grass.

00:00:17.790 --> 00:00:18.960 align:middle line:90%
The wind falls.

00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.450 align:middle line:84%
The fields fold in upon
each other like wings

00:00:21.450 --> 00:00:24.030 align:middle line:90%
on a sleeping insect.

00:00:24.030 --> 00:00:26.040 align:middle line:84%
The house, heavy
with the day's sweat,

00:00:26.040 --> 00:00:29.760 align:middle line:90%
sighs beneath the hand of dusk.

00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.159 align:middle line:90%
All things sleep.

00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:38.970 align:middle line:84%
Lilac, iris, bracken,
windmill, and anvil.

00:00:38.970 --> 00:00:42.270 align:middle line:90%
The stones which dream of moss.

00:00:42.270 --> 00:00:46.760 align:middle line:84%
The cold stars in
endless heaven.

00:00:46.760 --> 00:00:50.340 align:middle line:84%
Now may all rutting lovers
under this lace of leaves

00:00:50.340 --> 00:00:53.550 align:middle line:90%
lie down in comfort.

00:00:53.550 --> 00:00:57.375 align:middle line:84%
Let them not hear the dew
form over the pastures,

00:00:57.375 --> 00:01:01.960 align:middle line:84%
nor foresee its sharp
hooves in the loam.

00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:06.289 align:middle line:84%
May the plow of night
pass over them."
