Shaw: and the swallow
Caroline Shaw (1982- )
how beloved is your dwelling place,
o lord of hosts
my soul yearns,
my heart and my flesh cry
the sparrow found a house,
and the swallow her nest,
where she may raise her young
they pass through the Valley of Bakka,
they make it a place of springs
the autumn rains cover it with pools
Psalm 84
Commissioned by Nederland Kammerkoor
