over the river in loud flood
Music: Rima Snyder
Text: Wendell Berry

over the river in loud flood,
in the wind deep and broad
under the unending sky, pair
by pair, the swallows again,
with tender exactitude,
play out their line
in arcs laid on the air,
as soon as made, not there.

 

There Will Be Rest
Music: Frank Ticheli
Text: Sara Teasdale

There will be rest, and sure stars shining
Over the rooftops crowned with snow,
A reign of rest, serene forgetting,
The music of stillness holy and low.

I will make this world of my devising
Out of a dream in my lonely mind.
I shall find the crystal of peace, — above me,
Stars shall I find.
