NIGHT
“Night” - Florence B. Price; Poetry of Louise C. Wallace
Emi and Nora Hensel, dancers
Maria Miller, voice
Kathleen Kelly, piano
Produced as part of Opera in Overalls’s ONCE UPON A TIME project, in collaboration with MHT Dance
Night comes, a Madonna clad in scented blue.
Rose red her mouth and deep her eyes,
She lights her stars, and turns to where
Beneath her silver lamp, the moon,
Upon a couch of shadow lies
A dreamy child,
The wearied Day.
