THE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL



Images set to Loreena McKennitt's music and vocals "The Dark Night of the Soul", inspired by the Words of St. John of the Cross.

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 complete lyrics may be found at Loreena MeKennitt's website.
