| When the birds flock to the south When the wind calls to the north You are in the falling snow You are beauty going forth You are heat and you are light Sun above the mountain's peak I would give the sun and moon Once more just to hear you speak Wings of angels tears of saints Prayers and promises won't bring you back Come to me in dreams again Wings of angels tears of saints Prayers and Promises ______________________________________________ from "Wings of Angels" Words and Music by Judy Collins Universal Music Corp.

| “They whom we love and lose are no longer where they were before. They are now wherever we are.” -----St. John Chrysostom |
| Francisca |
| And, oh! what beautiful years were these When our hearts clung each to each; When life was filled and our senses thrilled In the first faint dawn of speech. Thus life by life and love by love We passed through the cycles strange, And breath by breath and death by death We followed the chain of change. ~ Langdon Smith ~ |
| Near the snow, near the sun, in the highest fields, See how these names are feted in the waving grass And by the streamers of the white cloud And whispers of the wind in the listening sky. The names of those who in their lives fought for life, Who wore at their hearts the fire's centre. Born of the sun, they travelled a short while toward the sun And left the vivid air signed with their honour. ~ Stephen Spender ~ |
