Pentameters for Paulus
Our calendars with yearly promptings call us
To celebrate the work of Stephen Paulus.
Let mingled voices raise their grateful sound
With limpid lyrics, simple and profound.
The dawn’s uncertain when the day is done,
But Stephen with his choral strains has spun
A fabric which our gathered choral throng
Unfurls with careful dignity of song.
