An evensong for you,
The rising chords
Sublimely bounced
From vaulted nave
And chancel arch
Above the rood screen
Where mater dolerosa stands
Head bowed, with John
Here my evensong begins
A spluttering candle
Guttering in the dark
A glimmer firmly held
Against the night.
Come with me
Beyond the arch of nave
Beyond the time and place
To join with mater dolerosa
And hope for grace.
