Kerr’s poem Jenny is a powerful and heartfelt text remembering a lost loved one. The fluid vocal lines written by Myer perfectly capture the essence of love that is always present and stays forever, making the choral piece both touching and haunting.
Crimson and coral,
sunset falls on Willow Park.
On this noble tree,where you’d climb,
I see “Jenny” carved into the bark.
Sable and sapphire dim the final light of day.
Laughter seems to float on the breeze
through the willow trees
where you used to play.
In the darkness, in the starlight,
I hear angels sing your name
as they bear you through the heavens
to the Light from which you came.
Quietly the strain falls out of tune.
Shadows steal across a lonely moon.
I miss you so.
Smoky and silver,
dawn will soon dissolve the dark.
Still, one shadow stays
in the veil of the trees
in Willow Park.
As the sunrise drowns the darkness,
all the angels sing your name,
and you’re flying through the heavens
to the Light from which you came.
Whispers of their song
that echo yet
make me glad to know
I won’t forget
my Jenny dear, my Jenny dear.
I love you so.
