Thirty-four sings softly in the moonlight,
Hoping to disturb a passing soul.
In beauty only does one see God's face,
Reckoning the power by the grace,
Touching so the sunlight in the coal.
Years of song are swallowed by the good night.

Fear not, for the burning of the first light
Opens up a window on the whole,
Unveiling within a touch of torchlight
Resplendent as the harmonies of home.
