Listening Text
The poem tells the story of a road through a forest that existed before trees were planted,
highlighting how nature was once untouched. However, human intervention has since hidden
the road beneath trees, making it hard to recognize. Despite this, on summer evenings, sounds
suggest that someone remembers the road’s location. The poem explores the irreversible
impact of human actions on nature and the loss of the road through the woods, symbolizing
the challenges of restoring nature once it’s changed.
