lyrics

from a poem by Emily Dickinson:

Glee, oh glee; the great storm is over.
Four have recovered the land.
Forty gone down together
into the boiling sand.

Ring, oh ring, for the scant salvation
Toll for the bonnie souls
Neighbor, friend, and bridegroom
Spinning upon the shoals.

How they will tell of the shipwreck
When winter shakes the door
'Til the children ask, "But the forty?
Did they come back no more?"

Then a silence suffuses the story,
a softness the teller's eye.
And the children no further question,
and only the waves reply.
