​Un bel brano per coro SATB e piano di Z.Randall Stroope, compositore originario del Nuovo Messico ma da diversi anni direttore di varie corali in Oklahoma. 

Qui di seguito il testo originale, che "macaronicamente" mescola inglese e latino (quest'ultimo preso dai Carmina Burana): 

Somewhere far from nowhere, I grew both strong and tall
Longing to become, but knowing not the path at all!
But the footprints of the winter melted to fields of spring;
One last embrace before I cross the threshold: To life we sing!

O stay your soul and leave my heart its song!
O stay your hand; the journey may be long!
And when we part, and sorrow cant be swayd.
Remember when, and let your heart be staid.

Omnia sol temperat,
Absens in remota.
Ama me fideliter,
Fidem mean nota.

Weave the dance and raise the chorus; grieve no more
Through the strength of Orion, find refuge from the shore!
Let courage be your oar, let passion be your sail;
Wisdom and truth will guide your deep hearts yearning, though all travail!
