| | | DIVIDING the land are the walls, walls of stone and linking | |
| Pasture with meadow and meadow with pasture again. | |
| Loops of stone, I see them stretching everywhere in lines and circles, | |
| Beautiful reaching lines that separate wheat fields | |
| From the pale blue of rye, and the waving splendor of oats. | 5 |
| Separating and joining, O walls of gray, | |
| Join, I beseech you, my spirit with yours; | |
| Separate me from the world that I may be with you, | |
| Touching the golden of wheat fields, the silver of rye. | | | | |
