The text of Richard Burton's delivery of Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood:
"And all the people of the lulled and dumbfound town are sleeping now. Hush, the babies are sleeping, the farmers, the fishers, the tradesmen and pensioners, the cobblers, school teacher, postman and publican, the undertaker and the fancy woman, drunkard, dress maker, preacher, policeman, the webfoot cocklewomen and the tidy wives. Young girls lie bedded soft or glide in their dreams with rings and trousseaux, bridesmaided by glow-worms who buy glow-worms down the isles of organplaying wood. You can hear the dew falling, and the hushed town breathing. Only your eyes are unclosed to see the black and folded town fast, and slow, asleep."
