by Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886)

There is another sky
 (Sung text for setting by J. Shank)
 Matches original text
Language: English 
There is another sky,
Ever serene and fair,
And there is another sunshine,
Though it be darkness there;
Never mind faded forests, Austin,
Never mind silent fields —
Here is a little forest,
Whose leaf is ever green;
Here is a brighter garden,
Where not a frost has been;
In its unfading flowers
I hear the bright bee hum:
Prithee, my brother,
Into my garden come!

Composition:

    Set to music by Joshua Shank (b. 1980), "There is another sky", 2011 [ voice and piano ], from Services of Snow, no. 1
