Description
The song is based on the words of the English poet of the early 17th century Richard Crashaw (1612-1649). SHEPHERD'S SONG TO THE SAVIOR
"You are a sprout in the sweet silence,
Entailed an eternal day.
You are the illuminated east,
Dispelling the night shadow.
You see— and we sing praises,
You are visible in your radiance."
(You see— and we sing praises,
You are visible in your radiance.")
Hallelujah...
but what is this vale of sorrows
Did you give it to a starry alien?
A cave of several cubits
And a place near the ox.
With the heavenly - the earthly army
Fighting to get up at the bed.
