Still Falls The Rain Comments

I cannot find this poem, AT FOUR IN THE MORNING, so I write my comment here

And set to music by the half-forgotten Irish composer Miss Ina Boyle in 1948.

this is amazing I read this too my teacher for a project and she gave me 100! ! WOOP WOOP

This wonderful poem, broken like the Christian myth it belies, rings like a great bell, never ashamed, always full of exhausted pain. Should be read once or twice a year in every church you can find.

One of my favourite poems...multi layered and abounding with well chosen biblical references. It speaks volumes about the human condition

Amazing, just amazing... Am... Speechlessly just gazing...

.............a wonderful poem.....so nicely it flows like the rain.....nicely written...

Yes, it's a great setting, by one of the masters of setting English poetry to music. Check out his other canticles too... as well as the settings in the Spring Symphony and Les Illminations

there is an excellent setting of this poem to music by Benjamin Britten, I highly recommend it.
