Poem by John Greenleaf Whittier, "Immortal Love".

A contemplative setting of one of Whittier's best known poems, with a plaintive melody, compelling inner voices, and modal harmony reminiscent of early American hymns.

Text: Immortal love, forever full, forever flowing free. Forever shared, forever whole, a never-ending sea. Our outward lips confess the name all other names above, but love alone knows whence it came and comprehendeth love. Blow winds of love, awake and blow the mists of hate away, Sing out, O Truth divine, and tell how wide and far we stray. The letter fails, the systems fall, and every symbol wanes; The Spirit overseeing all, Eternal Love, remains.
