Others have done well already, just one suggestion/observation -
Recognizing that plays on words are certainly in play here, did the author perhaps intend "yolk" (yellow inner part of an egg) rather than "yoke" (hitched oxen, or the hitching mechanism itself, or process of attaching it)? Just from context, the sun, exposure, etc.? Or the poem may have been speeding past that association, and I just missed it.
