Magnificat Anima Mea Dominum
(A Song For St. Mary's) |
|
|
|
by Doug Tanoury
|
|
At Old St. Mary's there is pipe organ that is
A vertical fantasy that fills the choir loft
It sometime plays while I study
The light filled faces of stained glass saints
Animated with sunrise high in the clerestory
And I feel each note in the wooden pew
The hair on my arms vibrates to a tingle
As candle flames tremble and sway with the music
That showers down from vaulted ceilings
And I am touched where sound meets light
When bass rattles the glass and shakes these walls
And passes through me like the Spirit of God
I place poetry in the collection plate
And watch it carried to the altar surrounded
With bread and wine and music and light |
