An assuring text from master poet Sara Teasdale, its central theme is that one can take refuge in singing. Ever sensitive to the text, Walker crafts word painting throughout with shimmering accompaniment figures, textural changes, and fanfare-like passages in the voices on the word "free. Excerpted from the larger work Sing Evermore! and available in both SATB and TTBB voicings.
