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 80thbirthday. 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 andsat in the warm eveningssinging to myself as a man singswhen he knows there isno one to hear. I made my bed under the shadow of leaves and awokein the first snow of autumnfilled with silence. - John Haines
