From the hedge of my fields Explanation: It would be translated as 'From the Hedge of my Fields'. 'Hedge' is more appropriate looking at the cultural context of the poem. This is a very famous poem, 'Ek Bapore' [One Afternoon] by Ravji Patel, a very promising poet who died young. He had published only one volume of poetry, Angat. And Ravji Patel is one of the few great voices in twentieth century Gujarati poetry. Ravji writes a kind of rural poetry and 'fence' would not make so much sense there. 'Hedge' is much more appropriate here. There are few good published translations of this poem and they can be found easily. This poem essentially talks of the transitoriness of human existence.
