Choral Trilogy

Song Cycle by Edith Borroff (1925 - 2019)

 (Sung text)

Language: English 
Silk and fireflies,
Barefoot prints on wooden floors, 
Smiles reflected in a memory pond,
          and laughter 
          carefree
          were it not 
for Sometime-cares and Sometime-tears.

And days go on,
Each holding its breath,
Scarcely believing its colorful dress.
