Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. Today, this spring Is time for walking on the soft earth In sounds that sweeten the air And reach beyond the long dark sleep; For sun to warm the cheek, And quicken breath; A time to shed the griefs That brown the spirit of beginning; To trust the restless energy DemAnding space And speak of life, My own, which recreates itself in you.  less

Below the gardens And the darkening pines The living water sinks among the stones, Sinking yet foaming till the snowy tones Merge with the fog drawn lAndward in dim lines. The cloud dissolves among the flowering vines, And now the definite mountain-side disowns The fluid world, the immeasurable zones. Then white oblivion swallows all designs. But still the rich confusion of the sea, Unceasing voice, sombre And solacing, Rises through veils of silence past the trees; In restless repetition bound, yet free, Wave after wave in deluge fresh releasing An ancient speech, hushed in tremendous ease.  less
