Analysis of Haunting Richness of Worship
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
I have been in cloistered places
Where the atmosphere is grave
Once a murder in Cathedral
That the King could not stop, save.
But acoustics, Man they’re special
And the loneliness not bad.
Bringing worship from one’s deepest heart.
Timidity turned brave.
