Only in sleep I see their faces
Children I played with when I was a child
Louise comes back with her brown hair braided
Annie with ringlets warm and wild
Only in sleep Time is forgotten-
What may have come to them, who can know?
Yet we played last night as long ago
And the doll-house stood at the turn of the stair
The years had not sharpened their smooth round faces
I met their eyes and found them mild-
Do they, too, dream of me, I wonder
And for them am I too a child?
Text: Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)

Beautiful, to think that a diverse group of humans could face each other in a circle and produce this sound, without tools ot instruments, the sound seemingly to come directly from their hearts.

The reason I take choir in school is so that one day I'll be able to sing with people like this. Awe-inspiring to listen to, thank you!

Only in Sleep - lyrics by Sara Teasdale
Only in sleep I see their faces
Children I played with when I was a child
Louise comes back with her brown hair braided
Annie with ringlets warm and wild
Only in sleep Time is forgotten-
What may have come to them, who can know?
Yet we played last night as long ago
And the doll-house stood at the turn of the stair
The years had not sharpened their smooth round faces
I met their eyes and found them mild-
Do they, too, dream of me, I wonder
And for them am I too a child?
