Sure on this shining night
(1938)
Op. 13 no.3
Sure on this shining night
Sure on this shining nightOf starmade shadows round,Kindness must watch for meThis 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 Wandering far aloneOf shadows on the stars.

Sure on this shining night
Sure on this shining night
Of starmade 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
Wandering far alone
Of shadows on the stars.
