00:00:01.350 --> 00:00:11.870 align:middle line:84%
This one is called "New World"
and it is a fairly recent poem.

00:00:11.870 --> 00:00:13.880 align:middle line:90%
One.

00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:21.530 align:middle line:84%
First man behold, the
Earth glitters with leaves,

00:00:21.530 --> 00:00:25.220 align:middle line:90%
the sky glistens with rain.

00:00:25.220 --> 00:00:32.210 align:middle line:84%
Pollen is born on winds that
low and lean upon mountains.

00:00:32.210 --> 00:00:38.390 align:middle line:84%
Cedars blackened the
slopes and pines.

00:00:38.390 --> 00:00:40.010 align:middle line:90%
Two.

00:00:40.010 --> 00:00:45.110 align:middle line:84%
At dawn, eagle's high and
hover above the plane,

00:00:45.110 --> 00:00:49.400 align:middle line:90%
where light gathers in pools.

00:00:49.400 --> 00:00:57.050 align:middle line:84%
Grasses shimmer and shine,
shadows withdraw and lie away

00:00:57.050 --> 00:00:59.750 align:middle line:90%
like smoke.

00:00:59.750 --> 00:01:01.790 align:middle line:90%
Three.

00:01:01.790 --> 00:01:09.260 align:middle line:84%
At noon, turtles enter slowly
into the warm, dark loam,

00:01:09.260 --> 00:01:14.300 align:middle line:84%
bees hold the swarm,
meadows recede

00:01:14.300 --> 00:01:19.850 align:middle line:84%
through plains of heat
and pure distance.

00:01:19.850 --> 00:01:21.800 align:middle line:90%
Four.

00:01:21.800 --> 00:01:28.610 align:middle line:84%
At dusk, the gray
foxes stiffen in cold.

00:01:28.610 --> 00:01:33.110 align:middle line:84%
Black birds are fixed
in the branches.

00:01:33.110 --> 00:01:41.320 align:middle line:84%
Rivers follow the moon, the long
white track of the full moon.

00:01:41.320 --> 00:01:44.000 align:middle line:90%
