Becca Stevens - "This song is a setting of a poem by Jane Tyson Clement. When I first read this poem it brought me to tears. I pictured Jane at the end of her life looking back with bittersweet acceptance of the loss of someone very close to her, maybe her husband (Bob). I found out after I’d set the poem that Jane actually wrote this poem when she was in her early twenties, before she even met the man who she would eventually marry. To me this is one of the marks of great writing: when a body of text can mean different things to different people. The text can time travel, evolve, and live comfortably in the imagined world of every reader."

LYRICS
For you the night is still;
The moonlight on the hill
Shall come no more. And I
Whose life was touched with flame,
If I stay not the same
Because the flame must die,
You will not know
For me the night will change,
The moonlight not be strange,
Nor silvered hill. And you
Whose life was turned to dark
Sleep on and do not mark
If this small heart stay true,
If love will go
If love will go
If love
If love will go
If love will go
It is for me to keep
The beauty, while you sleep
Unsullied peace. And I
Who cannot stay the years
Nor live them all in tears
Must watch the vision die
Unchecked and slow
If love will go
If love will go
If love will go
If love will go
