And finally, out
of the series, I'd

00:00:02.400 --> 00:00:07.440 align:middle line:84%
like to read a poem,
called "The Last Salmon."

00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:11.460 align:middle line:84%
When the last salmon come
home, like Chief Joseph's

00:00:11.460 --> 00:00:15.600 align:middle line:84%
beaten tribe, gulls will
arrive from the dump

00:00:15.600 --> 00:00:18.990 align:middle line:84%
as honor must be
accorded and the sunshine

00:00:18.990 --> 00:00:24.330 align:middle line:84%
will be dignified that we
love no dead but our own.

00:00:24.330 --> 00:00:28.230 align:middle line:84%
From reserved seats on the dyke,
we will watch them leaping,

00:00:28.230 --> 00:00:33.030 align:middle line:84%
see their darkening flanks
like old tires in the water.

00:00:33.030 --> 00:00:38.130 align:middle line:84%
The river will be at low flow as
decreed by the army engineers.

00:00:38.130 --> 00:00:41.820 align:middle line:84%
Here at the rapids,
the high school band

00:00:41.820 --> 00:00:47.390 align:middle line:84%
will cheer, playing the passage
of great fish through the air.
