Peter Mayer The Dialectic Sermon of Chi Tsang, 1968
Bob Cobbing & Writers Forum, Edited by Peter Mayer, «Ceolfrith» 26, Ceolfrith Press, Sunderland, 1974 [room 3o2 books, Ottawa]
Getting a little corny on this weekend that is sacred to some people, here is a song, introduced to me by someone of indigenous ancestry, that captures some of what I feel as I take the pictures and videos I post here.
Peter Mayer, singing “The Longest Night”
Light a candle, sing a song Say that the shadows shall not cross Make an oblation out of all you’ve lost In the longest night
Gather friends and cast your hopes Into the fire as it snows And stare at God through the dark windows Of the longest night Of the year
{Refrain} A night that seems like a lifetime If you’re waiting for the sun So why not sing to the nighttime And the burning stars up above?
Come with drums, bells and horns Or come in silence, come forlorn Come like a miner to the door Of the longest night
For deep in the stillness, deep in the cold Deep in the darkness, a miner knows That there is a diamond in the soul Of the longest night Of the year
{Refrain}
Maybe peace hides in a storm Maybe winter’s heart is warm And maybe light itself is born In the longest night In the longest night
'Ring bells o'er mountains and valleys Ring bells through city and field Ring bells over the oceans Ring bells as joy is revealed' -Peter Mayer | Visit Lyrics as Quotes for more song lyrics made into bite size quotes.
