| Description |
|---|
A moving, inspirational song with text from an Emily Dickinson poem of the same name. Not too difficult for high school choirs and encourages an expressive technique. Scored for SATB and piano, 6' duration,
The text is from Emily Dickinson's Complete Poems (1923), "Part One: Life, VI":
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain. |
