Joseph Farqueharson, Carulli - Waltz Allegretto

I like the way the colors in the sky reflect in the water in this painting by Joseph Farqueharson.

























Today's music by the Italian composer Ferdinado Carulli is a Waltz - Allegretto.  I hope you enjoy this peaceful piece.

Two more Amy Carmichael poems from  Mountain Breezes:

       I WANT TO CLIMB
I want to climb the air;
I want to find the stair,
But I cannot find itanywhere.

I know quite well there are
Great things up there--far, far;
I should like to stand upon a star.


But though I cannot go
So far away, quite low
Many little, lovely, dear things grow.


          A QUIET MIND
What room is there for troubled fear?
I know my Lord, and He is near;
And He will light my candle, so
That I may see the way to go.
  O Love, O Light, I sing to Thee,
  And in my heart make melody.


There need be no bewilderment
To one who goes where he is sent;
The trackless plain by night and day
Is setwith signs lest he should stray.
  O Love, O Light, I sing to Thee.
  And in my heartmakemelody.


My path may cross a waste of sea,
But that need never frighten me;
Or rivers full to very brim,
But they are open ways to Him,
  O Love, O Light, I sing to Thee,
  And in my heart make melody.


My path may lead through woods atnight,
Where neither moon nor any light
Of guiding star or beacon shin3es;
He will not letme missmy signs,
  O Love, O Light, I sing to Thee,
  And in my heart make melody.


Lord, grant to me a quiet mind,
That trusting Thee--for Thou art kind--
I may go on without a fear,
For Thou, my Lord, art always near.
  O Love, O Light, I sing to Thee,
  And in my heart make melody.
