As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
The wounded flowers were hanging
from the vine
I was passin' by yon cool and crystal fountain
Someone hit me from behind

Ain't Talkin'. Just walkin'.
Through this weary world of woe
Heart burnin'. Still yearnin'.
No one on Earth will ever know

                       - Bob Dylan
                        "Ain't Talkin'"
Some listeners online say it is God who hits him from behind. Pretty persuasive interpretation to me.
