A light that shames the noonday sun
Language: English  after the English
A light that shames the noonday sun delivers and enfolds the grove with fires from which no new fires run descending here where once I strove; it banishes the storm, and fills with joy my trembling form that I had felt near slip away beneath that dark before this day. "Joseph! Joseph! This is my beloved son. Hear Him!"
