COMPOSER'S NOTES (www.zrstroope.com)
I have set prose, poetry, quotes, and other writings of over 120 literary "giants" throughout my compositional career. Sara Teasdale (1884-1933) stands as one of the two or three writers whom I most closely identify or relate to their writing in some way. This is the text (which in the original is titled, "There Will Be Rest.")
There will be rest, and sure stars shining
Over the roof-tops crowned with snow,
A reign of rest, serene forgetting,
The music of stillness, holy and low.
I will make this world of my devising
Out of a dream in my lonely mind.
I shall find the crystal of peace, - above me
Stars I shall find.
