Afternoon on a Hill

"Afternoon on a Hill" (2007) Eric William Barnum, composer Robert Bode, conductor piano, Lee Thompson Choral Arts Northwest, choir — www.choralartsnw.org I will be the gladdest thing Under the sun! I will touch a hundred flowers And not pick one. I will look at cliffs and clouds With quiet eyes, Watch the wind bow down the grass, And the grass rise. And when lights begin to show Up from the town, I will mark which must be mine, And then start down! — Edna St. Vincent Millay www.ericwilliambarnum.com www.ericbarnum.com
