'A Hymn for St Cecilia' Sing for the morning’s joy, Cecilia, sing, in words of youth and phrases of the spring. &nbsp; Walk the bright colonnades by fountains spray &nbsp; and sing as sunlight fills the waking day. Till angels, voyaging in upper air, &nbsp; pause on a wing, and gather the clear sound &nbsp; into celestial joy, wound and unwound, a silver chain or golden as your hair. Sing for your loves of heaven and of earth, in words of music, and each word a truth, &nbsp; marriage of heart and longings that aspire, &nbsp; a bond of roses and a ring of fire. Your summertime grows short and fades away, &nbsp; terror must gather to a martyr’s death, &nbsp; but never tremble, the last indrawn breath remembers music as an echo may. Through the cold aftermath of centuries Cecilia’s music dances in the skies, &nbsp; lend us a fragment of the immortal air &nbsp; where with your choiring angels we may share. A word to light us through time-fettered night, &nbsp; water of life, a rose of paradise; &nbsp; so from the earth another song shall rise to meet your own in heavens long delight. by Ursula Vaughan Williams, used by permission
