Tillery

[00:28.76] The dark emerging trees
[00:33.29] From the new-winter wood
[00:36.87] Are lovlier than leaves
[00:41.59] As cold is also good
[00:45.14] The heart's necessities
[00:48.70] Include the interlude
[00:52.41] A frost-constricted peace
[00:56.09] On which the sun can brood
[01:00.91]
[01:18.03] No season of the soul
[01:21.40] Strips clear the face of God
[01:25.03] Safe, cold and frozen wind
[01:28.65] Upon the frozen sod.
[01:34.50]
[01:42.22] The strong and caustic air
[01:45.82] That strikes us to the bone
[01:49.45] Blows till we see again
[01:53.02] The weathered shape of home
[01:57.56] No season of the soul
[02:01.10] Strips clear the face of God
[02:05.69] Safe, cold and frozen wind
[02:09.25] Upon the frozen sod
[02:14.18]
[02:29.09] Dusk settles in later this time of year
[02:33.55] The fireflies; night time's chandelier.
[02:38.04] Night'll come as days must end
[02:41.64] But soon the sun will rise again
[02:45.64]
[02:53.74] Sadness sheds in layers, leading us here
[02:58.28] Springtime's Winter's souvenir
[03:02.74] Winter clothes and Winter fears
[03:05.41] Winter weight is so last year
[03:09.97] No season of the soul
[03:13.62] Strips clear the face of God
[03:17.22] Safe, cold and frozen wind
[03:21.74] Upon the frozen sod.
[03:25.86] I think what makes Spring so sweet
[03:30.37]
[03:33.99] Not the roses but beneath
[03:37.58]
[03:41.22] Is the undelying truth
[03:45.62]
[03:49.28] That everything must go so soon
[03:53.78] No season of the soul
[03:57.30] Strips clear the face of God
[04:00.90] Safe, cold and frozen wind
[04:04.56] Upon the frozen sod.
[04:12.33]
[04:23.16] So may we shout
[04:26.72] And may we sing
[04:30.36] So may we shout
[04:33.95] And may we sing
[04:40.28] So may we shout
[04:44.77] And may we sing
[05:27.16] Blessed thaw, O Holy Spring
[05:32.57]
