LIGHTING OF THE PEACE CANDLE Penny Needham
PEACE CANDLE RESPONSE WHEN ROOKS FLY HOMEWARD Arthur Baynon When rooks fly homeward and shadows fall, When stars look out on the Children’s Path When roses fold on the hay-yard wall, And grey mists gather on carn and rath, When blind moths flutter by door and tree. When night is one with the brooding sea. Then comes the quiet of Christ to me. Then comes the quiet of Christ to me. —Poem by Joseph Campbell
