Text !When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. !Copyright © 2012 by Wendell Berry from New Collected Poems. Used by permission of Counterpoint Press. !!Performance Time c. 4:30 !!Commissioning Ensemble !Young New Yorkers’ Chorus. Michael Kerschner, conductor. !!About the Composer !
