SURE ON THIS SHINING NIGHT
SATB + piano
TEXT
Sure on this shining night
Of star made shadows round,
Kindness must watch for me
This side the ground.
The late year lies down the nort.
All is healed, all is health.
High summer holds the earth.
Hearts all whole.
Sure on this shining night I weep for wonder wandering far
alone
Of shadows on the stars.
James Agee (1909-1955) from “Permit Me to Voyage”
