Daughter Child Of The Muses


Held in the arms of spirit
Within the refuge of light
Daughter Child of the Muses
Your lyre sounds in delight
Strum the chords of the heavens
In this moment of thought
Feel the concordant harmonies
For nothing is, that is naught.

Rose Marie Raccioppi


Parnassus or Apollo and the Muses (detail) by Simon Vouet, French painter, 1590-1649.

Play I The Light

So sweet is this song of the winds I hear
Bygone yet heard within my heart so near
Strings to sound within this soul mine
Play I the light of the firmament divine.
