Hope and I

This poem by Susan Coolidge, the pseudonym of Sarah Chauncey Woolsey, had been sitting on my computer for at least a year, and had been sitting on my desk for several months. It helped me a great deal to make my way emotionally through yesterday and today to work on it. And it helps to be able to share it right away. I can't remember how I found Coolidge's work. The cyber trail has been erased.

You can find the music here, on this page of the IMSLP. You can listen to a computer-generated recording here.
