00:00:01.085 --> 00:00:02.460 align:middle line:84%
All right, that's
out of the way.

00:00:02.460 --> 00:00:07.243 align:middle line:90%


00:00:07.243 --> 00:00:08.910 align:middle line:84%
This next poem is
called "The Day Lost."

00:00:08.910 --> 00:00:17.410 align:middle line:90%


00:00:17.410 --> 00:00:20.170 align:middle line:84%
They would go right in
through the woods of Tennessee

00:00:20.170 --> 00:00:22.570 align:middle line:90%
when they were first married.

00:00:22.570 --> 00:00:26.390 align:middle line:84%
The gloaming green sword
seduced their hearts.

00:00:26.390 --> 00:00:29.380 align:middle line:84%
And they would stop to give
their weary steeds refreshment

00:00:29.380 --> 00:00:31.660 align:middle line:90%
at a mountain spring.

00:00:31.660 --> 00:00:35.620 align:middle line:84%
Her high brown English boots
were winning to his eye

00:00:35.620 --> 00:00:39.520 align:middle line:84%
and she adored the party
colored pants he wore.

00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:42.970 align:middle line:84%
The sun stream through the
leaves to make the trees

00:00:42.970 --> 00:00:45.640 align:middle line:90%
seem more like chandeliers.

00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.550 align:middle line:84%
It was here he
handed her the ring.

00:00:48.550 --> 00:00:53.240 align:middle line:84%
Her tears flew she was,
quote, "at a loss for words."

00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.000 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.210 align:middle line:84%
On a silver
anniversary in Indiana,

00:00:59.210 --> 00:01:01.640 align:middle line:84%
she stands in the North
corner of the living

00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:06.050 align:middle line:84%
room and her negligee
snow shoes and skullcap.

00:01:06.050 --> 00:01:08.750 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:08.750 --> 00:01:11.900 align:middle line:84%
And he is dancing on the
table in his Mackintosh

00:01:11.900 --> 00:01:15.260 align:middle line:90%
and cummerbund.

00:01:15.260 --> 00:01:18.800 align:middle line:84%
Both realize how
precious life is.

00:01:18.800 --> 00:01:23.570 align:middle line:84%
To save time, the horses are
in the kitchen making soup.

00:01:23.570 --> 00:01:25.420 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:25.420 --> 00:01:28.000 align:middle line:90%
