"Love and Loss." for Voice and Piano | Computer Audio | By Joe Marta

Music - Joe Marta
Lyrics adapted from Love and Loss. - Madison Julius Cawein
Full Text:
Loss molds our lives in many ways,
And fills our souls with guesses;
Upon our hearts sad hands it lays
Like some grave priest that blesses.
Far better than the love we win,
That earthly passions leaven,
Is love we lose, that knows no sin,
That points the path to Heaven.
Love, whose soft shadow brightens Earth,
Through whom our dreams are nearest;
And loss, through whom we see the worth
Of all that we held dearest.

Beautiful and haunting. Looped it while working--it played 37 times before I decided to move on.
