Gary Snyder Mid-August at Sourdough Mountain Lookout

Tekst piosenki

Down valley a smoke haze
three days heat, after five days rain
Pitch glows on the fir-cones
Across rocks and meadows
Swarms of new flies

I cannot remember things I once read
A few friends, but they are in cities.
Drinking cold snow-water from a tin cup.
Looking down for miles
Through high still air.
