When he killed the Mudjokivis,
Of the skin he made him mittens,
Made them with the fur side inside,
Made them with the skin side outside.
He, to get the warm side inside,
Put the inside skin side outside;
He, to get the cold side outside,
Put the warm side fur side inside.
That's why he put the fur side inside,
Why he put the skin side outside,
Why he turned them inside outside less

Verse 1
A Centipede was happy quite
Until a frog in fun
said "Pray tell which leg comes after which?"
(with a left right right left right)
This raised her mind to such a pitch
she lay distracted in a ditch
Considering how to run.
Verse 2
She stopped and thought and, mystified,
Soliloquized on this;
Put right foot first and found it left
Her left leg wrong right side
This raised her mind to such a pitch
she lay distracted in a ditch
Considering how to run. less

"High Flight"
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air . . .
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or ever eagle flew —
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Elle est près du fleuve dormeur debout
It stands by the sleepy river
mais le saule incliné toucherait de sa cîme l'eau
But the bending willow would touch the water with its very top
L'église vieille dit les heures
de l'île où la nuit descend
The church - an old church - tells the hours
from the island where the night descends
Je la vois encore son toit de gris dans le gris de l'eau.
I can still see it, its grey roof in the grey of the water
pressens dans la tour de bois
ma demeure la folie
I have a presentiment in the tower of wood
of my dwelling place, of madness
la folie le silence
of madness, of silence
clos clos vigilance
Closed in, closed in
but keeping watch
Oh Ne pas altérer ce qui reste,
et le doit.
Oh never change what remains
and should remain
"Was bleibt aber stiften die Dichter."
What remains, however, is the stuff of poetry. less

Davide Riva’s beautiful acapella setting for four-part mixed voices is set to the beloved Poem by Emily Dickinson. The composition is divided into two repeated sections. In the first section, the choral texture is homo-rhythmic and in the second section, the voices are set into a simple counterpoint. “I Never Saw” closes on the dominant chord creating a feeling of suspension that enhances the concept of faith expressed by Dickinson.
