[00:09.453]Will  I  become  like  the  old  man  from  next  door?
[00:43.571]Obsessed  with  fear  of  losing  his  mind,
[00:49.552]he  soon  couldn't  take  care  of  himself  anymore.
[00:52.564]He  had  no  friends  or  relatives  to  look  after  him,
[01:03.84]only  once  a  week  some  male  nurse  dropped  in.
[01:11.827]He  was  found  in  his  bed,dehydrated...
[01:15.556]unconscious,as  he  was,they  brought  him  to  a  diffrent  place.
[01:25.342]"We  have  never  heard  of  him  since..."
[01:29.87]He  lived  alone  in  his  house  for  most  of  his  life,
[01:37.782]and  I  wouldn't  be  suprised,
[01:42.407]If  he  had  died  the  same  day  they  put  him  in  a  room
[01:48.265]with  the  people  he'd  never  seem  before.
[01:53.431]He  had  a  wild  garden  behind  his  house...
[01:59.374]so  beautiful  and  dark.
[02:01.228]woodpeckers  and  squirrels  lived  there,
[02:04.793]and  hedgehogs,mice  and  martens.
[02:06.653]Hazelnut-trees  and  wild  strawberries  grew,
[02:10.615]and  cherries,apples  and  pears,and  currants  of  red  and  black...
[02:16.741]all  hidden  in  this  private  place.
[02:20.761]In  the  safty  of  the  shadows  the  fragile  fern  slept,
[02:36.58]aloneg  the  winding  paths  the  wild-flowers  wept,
[02:39.218]snowdrops  noddld  their  little  heads  in  spring,
[02:42.334]of  which  I  do  not  know  the  names...
[02:45.345]And,of  course,there  was  ivy  everywhere.
[02:50.614]It  happend  the  same  week  they  took  him  away
[03:19.557]workers  hacked  down  all  the  trees  in  the  garden...
[03:22.682]hired  by  the  envious  people  outside...who  had  always  terrified
[03:28.60]by  the  beauty  that  enchanted  this  place,
[03:32.343]and  the  darkness  it  was  breathing.
[03:34.857]Yet,none  of  them  could  keep  the  DEAD  BIRDS  FROM  SINGING...
