Sure on this Shining Night
Sure on this shining night
Of star-made shadows round
Kindness must watch for me
This side the ground.
Of star-made shadows round
Kindness must watch for me
This side the ground.
The late year lies down the north,
All is healed, all is health
High summer holds the earth,
Hearts all whole.
All is healed, all is health
High summer holds the earth,
Hearts all whole.
Sure on this shining night
I weep for wonder
Wandr’ing far alone
Of shadows on the stars.
I weep for wonder
Wandr’ing far alone
Of shadows on the stars.
James Agee (1909-1955)
From “Description of Elysium,” stanzas 6-8, in Permit Me Voyage, (1934)
