sing

closer still

true vine

than the wind and wolves

the wilderness

of all the howling world

in hush behind your doors

where the low sigh is a fragrance

and nightsongs bloom for saints

 

so pluck your hanging harps

from the boughs of the willow tree

no longer sapless beneath the branches

the tears you\'ve sown

shake nations

and oil the warrior drums

 

where trembling hands raise armies

judah\'s lion

paces
