Christina Rossetti's artful text has been treated lovingly, with gorgeous melodies building to full choral sonorities.  From its hushed, mysterious beginning, this musical portrait is painted with poignant beauty and simplicity.  "Come in the speaking silence of a dream.  Come with soft, rounded cheeks and eyes as bright as sunlight on a stream..."  For concert choirs at the medium level, this is a true gem!  Highly recommended!
