"Daydreaming On The Trail"
is the title of this poem.

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:13.090 align:middle line:84%
"A lonely stretch, in the bind
of poor fishing and drought.

00:00:13.090 --> 00:00:17.530 align:middle line:84%
Following the ocean,
crossing pass after pass,

00:00:17.530 --> 00:00:20.110 align:middle line:90%
fields of wild reeds.

00:00:20.110 --> 00:00:23.500 align:middle line:90%
I've come this far alone.

00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:26.740 align:middle line:84%
Dozing in the pale
sun, on the sand of a

00:00:26.740 --> 00:00:30.460 align:middle line:84%
dried up river bed, back
and shoulder chilled,

00:00:30.460 --> 00:00:32.770 align:middle line:90%
something bothering me.

00:00:32.770 --> 00:00:35.920 align:middle line:84%
I think at that
last quartzite pass,

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.490 align:middle line:84%
I left the oak gate in the
fence of the cow pasture

00:00:39.490 --> 00:00:45.100 align:middle line:84%
open, probably because I
was hurrying, a white gate.

00:00:45.100 --> 00:00:49.150 align:middle line:84%
Did I leave it as
I found it or not?

00:00:49.150 --> 00:00:54.130 align:middle line:84%
Light cool sky, the
mistletoe on a chestnut

00:00:54.130 --> 00:00:58.900 align:middle line:84%
floats in vision, many
layered clouds of upriver,

00:00:58.900 --> 00:01:01.790 align:middle line:90%
cool lattice of sunlight.

00:01:01.790 --> 00:01:11.500 align:middle line:84%
Some unknown big bird calling
faintly, crork, crork."
