Authors:
  • Upon a darkened night the flame of love was burning in my breast
    And by a lantern bright I fled my house while all in quiet rest.
    Shrouded by the night and by the secret stair I quickly fled.
    The veil concealed my eyes while all within lay quiet as the dead.

    "The Dark Night Of The Soul" by John of the Cross, Variant adapted for music by Loreena McKennitt, 1994.
