featuring Elektra – directed by Morna Edmundson

LYRICS

One by one, like leaves from a tree
All my faiths have forsaken me;

But the stars above my head
Burn in white and delicate red,

And beneath my feet the earth

Brings the sturdy grass to birth.
I who was content to be
But a silken-singing tree,
But a rustle of delight
In the wistful heart of night–
I have lost the leaves that knew

Touch of rain and weight of dew.

Blinded by a leafy crown
I looked neither up nor down–

But the little leaves that die
Have left me room to see the sky;

Now for the first time I know

Stars above and earth below.

Sara Teasdale 1884-1933
