Alone in the night on a dark hill
with pines around me, spicy and still
And heaven, a heaven full of stars over my head
white and topaz and misty red
myriads with beating hearts of fire
the aeons cannot vex or tire...
Ah, the dome of heaven like a great hill
and myriads with beating hearts of fire
Heaven full of stars...
I know I am honored to be witness of so much majesty...
Recorded at St Pio of Pietrelcina Roman Catholic Church, 103 Washington Ave, Lavallette, NJ 08735-2351
