Beyond the silver mountains, beyond the beautiful hills, my spirit and joy, my lovely one, has gone, and winds have been stilled.

This is the last in the trilogy of settings of verses from a collection that Sarah White calls her Widow Poems, written after the sudden death of a lover. Each of the three represents a different stage in the arc of the poet's grief. In this one, written on the first anniversary of the beloved's death, a trace of whimsy has entered White's language and the music masterfully captures this same emotion.
