Dona nobis pacem Mov.3 - Reconciliation - Ralph Vaughan Williams

Performer London Philharmonic Choir, Sir Adrian Boult, Sheila Armstrong, John Carol Case
Composer: Ralph Vaughan Williams

Word over all, beautiful as the sky!
Beautiful that war, and all its deeds of carnage, must in time be utterly lost;
That the hands of the sisters Death and Night, incessantly softly
wash again, and ever again, this soiled world:
... For my enemy is dead--a man divine as myself is dead;
I look where he lies, white-faced and still, in the coffin... I draw near;
I bend down, and touch lightly with my lips the white face in the coffin.

- Walt Whitman
