There will be rest

Frank Ticheli conducting his own work There Will Be Rest with the Georgia State University Singers; November 8, 2011, Rialto Center for the Arts, Atlanta, GA

There will be rest, and sure stars shining
Over the roof-tops crowned with snow
A reign of rest, serene forgetting,
The music of stillness, holy and low.

I will make this world of my devising
Out of a dream in my lonely mind,
I shall find the crystal of peace; and above me
Stars I shall find.
