John Luther Adams' Poem Of The Forgotten for Voice and Piano. Duration: 5 minutes. This work sets a text by John Haines and is dedicated to Haines on the occasion of his 80th birthday. I came to this place, a young man green and lonely. Well quit of the world, I framed a house of moss and timber, called it a home, and sat in the warm evenings singing to myself as a man sings when he knows there is no one to hear. I made my bed under the shadow of leaves, and awoke in the first snow of autumn filled with silence. - John Haines
