Fast falls the eventide

I'm realizing that, with the extra to-ing and fro-ing to keep Demeter fed, and her blood-sugar levels reasonable, extra stuff like accompanying younger daughter to art lessons is wiping me out, so I really need to get the blog post in earlier in the day.

This didn't happen today, so I'm cheating.  Again.

Being brought up a Unitarian, this hymn actually reminds me of summer.  Summer band, to be exact.  Our director would put us through three or four hymns, for the harmonies.  The harmonies in "Abide With Me" are distinctive, and I was delighted that the King's Singers keep them perfectly intact.

You might want to ignore the lyrics.  They're a little too close for comfort, these days.

But I suppose they always were.
