[00:14.58] Yes, I remember Adlestrop - The name
[00:18.66] Because one afternoon of heat
[00:20.91] the express train drew up there unwontedly
[00:25.03] It was late June.The steam hissed
[00:30.46] Someone cleared his throat
[00:32.42] No one left and no one came
[00:35.27] On the bare platform.
[00:37.40] What I saw Was Adlestrop - only the name
[00:44.86] And willows, willow-herb, and grass
[00:48.12] And meadowsweet, and haycocks dry
[00:51.08] No whit less still and lonely fair
[00:54.12] Than the high cloudlets in the sky.
[00:56.29] And for that minute a blackbird san
[01:00.26] Close by, and round him, mistier,farther and farther
[01:07.22] All the birds Of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershir.
