00:00:01.140 --> 00:00:02.250 align:middle line:90%
A contemporary.

00:00:02.250 --> 00:00:05.670 align:middle line:90%


00:00:05.670 --> 00:00:09.330 align:middle line:84%
What if I came down now out of
these solid dark clouds that

00:00:09.330 --> 00:00:11.850 align:middle line:84%
build up against the
mountain day after day

00:00:11.850 --> 00:00:16.079 align:middle line:84%
with no rain in them, and
lived as one blade of grass

00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:20.880 align:middle line:84%
in a garden in the South when
the clouds part and winter?

00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:24.240 align:middle line:84%
From the beginning I would be
older than all the animals,

00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:27.600 align:middle line:84%
and to the last, I
would be simpler.

00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:31.260 align:middle line:84%
Frost would design me and
dew would disappear on me.

00:00:31.260 --> 00:00:33.810 align:middle line:90%
Sun would shine through me.

00:00:33.810 --> 00:00:36.420 align:middle line:84%
I would be green
with white roots.

00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:39.840 align:middle line:84%
Feel worms, touch my
feet, there's a bounty.

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.870 align:middle line:90%
Have no name and no fear.

00:00:42.870 --> 00:00:45.930 align:middle line:90%
Turn naturally to the light.

00:00:45.930 --> 00:00:50.130 align:middle line:84%
Know how to spend the day and
night climbing out of myself,

00:00:50.130 --> 00:00:50.850 align:middle line:90%
all my life.

00:00:50.850 --> 00:00:52.700 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]
