Thursday Text: Sure On This Shining Night

I know it's a day late, but I wanted to post about a poem that we heard recently in the form of a song by Morten Lauridsen. The poem is called Sure On This Shining Night, and it's by James Agee. Beautiful.

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 north.
All is healed, all is health.
High summer holds the earth.
Hearts all whole.
Sure on this shining night I weep for wonder wand'ring far alone
Of shadows on the stars.

My posting may be a bit sporadic over the next week, but I do have some ideas for things to come!
