All Saints Day



A day of fond
Farewells
In praise
Of angels

The yearly choir
That we might
Hear below
At evensong

There before me
The great multitude
No one could count
Before the throne

From all nations
All voices
White robed
Palm branched
Before the Lamb

And just to be clever

Et omnes angeli
Stabant in circuitu
Throni .............
Et adoraverunt Domini.
Being the antiphon at the second vespers of All Saints.

An image from my past
In the schola cantorum.

For Brian
