Brockville

echoes of wood grain

in the piano upon the stage

its resonance richer

its beauty greater

in the timber from which it is made

echoes of wood grain

in the guitar so gently fingered

like the piano

a thing of beauty

from living organs formed

echoes of wood grain

in the life of the singer

her Lord’s sacrifice

imprinting upon her love

the cross on which He died
