Wringing Out the Light

 

                                                                  

                                                                 Wring Out My Clothes

                                                                 Such love does

                                                                 the sky now pour,

                                                                 that whenever I stand in a field,

                                   
                                                                 I have to wring out the light
                                                                 when I get
                                                                 home.

                                                                 St. Francis of Assisi
