Description: Tuesday 22nd September 2020. Day 187 of Pandemic Poems

Coming late to this lovely channel. Thank you Samuel West, guests and listeners. How wonderful to find that this poem lives in my life as #8 of Samuel Barber's "Hermit Songs," which you can hear Leontyne Price singing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI8Fwgifeus. I do believe if you could liquify Price's voice, Barber's music, and Irish monastic poetry and innoculate people with it we'd be out of this mess shortly.
