Sure On This Shining Night - Morten Lauridsen; text by James Agee
Sure on this shining night of starmade shadows round,
Kindness must watch for me this side the ground, on this shining night.
The late year lies down the north,
All is healed, all is health.
High summer holds the earth. Hearts are whole.
I weep for wonder wand'ring far alone of shadows on the stars.
Sure on this shining night . . .
