Excerpt from Songs From Prudentius
The musick of it echoes still, Dim in the mighty vault of Rome's vast sanctuary, When clerkly voices chant their matin hymn, and sometimes too at night, And in Toledo's noble shrine Where Gothic liturgy, last of its race, still reigns When the red sun hath set, and canons sing their old-world evensong.
