Sure on this Shining Night Samuel Barber
The feeling of wandering alone on a starlit night, Samuel Barber-shop style.

Sure on this shining night Of starmade shadows round,
Kindness must watch for me This side of the ground.

High summer holds the earth. Hearts all whole.
Sure on this shining night, I weep for wonder
Wand'ring far alone Of shadows on the stars. On this shining night.
