Sure on this shining night

The late year lies down the north.
All is healed, all is health.
High summer holds the earth.
Hearts all whole.

Sure on this shining night
I weep for wonder
wand’ring far alone
of shadows on the stars.

Cantorale: Cherry Tree Carol

Joseph was an old man, and an old man was he,
when he married Mary in the land of Galilee

And as they were walking through an orchard so good,
where were cherries and berries as red as any blood.

O then bespoke Mary, with words meek and mild,
‘pluck me one cherry, Joseph, for that I am with child.’

‘Go to the tree then, Mary, and it shall bow to thee;
and you shall gather cherries by one, by two, by three.’

Then bowed down the highest tree unto our Lady’s hand;
‘See’, Mary cried, ‘see, Joseph, I have cherries at command.’

‘O eat your cherries, Mary, O eat your cherries now,
O eat your cherries, Mary, that grow up on the bough.’

Then Mary plucked a cherry, as red as any blood,
Then Mary went she homewards all with her heavy load.
