She Tells Her Love -- Robert Graves
She tells her love while half asleep,
In the dark hours,
With half-words whispered low:
As Earth stirs in her winter sleep
And puts out grass and flowers
Despite the snow,
Despite the falling snow.

I love this poem... I posted it at my blog a few weeks back. :)
Me too!
Have you heard the Morten Lauridsen song cycle version?
Have you heard the Lee Hoiby song??
I played it with a mezzo a couple of years ago... it's funny how you HEAR lyrics like this instead of reading them, if that's the way you knew them first. I'd almost forgotten it was a poem.
I'll check out the Lauridsen version now. :)

SS,
We performed the Lauridsen as a choral-orchestral collaboration in our junior year. ^__^
So you probably will recognize it.
But you weren't in Choraliers or Collegiate Chorale then, right?
