2 weeks since our world fell apart. Each day easier, but still difficult.
This is a song that I sang the day after I found out I was pregnant. The other music teachers and myself were singing through music to choose for honors choir. I remember focusing on the words so closely that day. The music arrived today at school and made me smile and remember.
I will make you brooches and toys for your delight
of birdsong at morning and starshine at night
And I will make a palace that's fit for you and me
of green days in the forest and blue days at sea.
And this shall be for music when no one else is near,
Such a fine song for singing, the rare song to hear!
That only I remember, that only you admire,
of the broad road that stretches and the roadside fire.
And this shall be for music
And this shall be for song.
Brooches and toys for your delight,
Birdsong at morning and starshine at night.
And this shall be for music when no one else is near,
Such a find song for singing, the rare song to hear!
That only I remember, that only you admire.
And this shall be for music.
