Wood Song
Kevin McCarter
About this work:
This song is a setting of a poem by Sara Teasdale:
Wood Song
I heard a wood thrush in the dusk
Twirl three notes and make a star —
My heart that walked with bitterness
Came back from very far.
Three shining notes were all he had,
And yet they made a starry call —
I caught life back against my breast
And kissed it, scars and all.
