Voicing: 2-PART 
Season: General  Released: January 2005  Difficulty: Medium Easy

   The Sara Teasdale poem starts innocently enough about the beauty nature, expertly set to a delicate melody composed by veteran writer Donna Gartman Schultz. But the text unravels into a more poignant subject that is profoundly convicting. Schults's writing, for two part treble voices, does ample justice to the text which will make it a concert favorite for years to come. School, Community.
