Words by ever-Freudig Peter Siedlecki. Music by Roland E. Martin. Sung by Freudig Singers for The American Pie Concerts 2011
No curtain had been drawn as yet
upon the whiteness of her youth
when that voice pierced the black night
to announce its ponderous and frightening truth:
that life would soon grow in her womb
like promised fruit to feed a waiting world.
She shook with dread, clutched at her breast and cried.
Then something like an early spring leaf, curled
in the expectation of its own wonder,
settled in her heart and she saw a light surround.
It entered her, showed in her eyes and fingertips.
She smiled softly and the earth made no sound.
