There Will Be Rest

There Will Be Rest by Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)
Music by Frank Ticheli


There will be rest, and sure stars shining 
   Over the rooftops 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.
