The Ring Song: Virtual Choir
This Virtual Choir project brought together current students and alums from around the country – and even one in Northern Ireland – for a performance of The Ring Song, with a new version including an instrumental introduction.Whose Woods these are, I think I know.
Her love will always be with us below.
Her ring we take, of us a part,
Encircling fingers young and ‘round her heart.
I pledge to her, a ring to keep.
Like woods is lovely, dark and deep.
And I have promises and miles to go.
And I have promises and miles to go.
The bells of Saint Mary’s
I hear they are calling,
The young loves, the true loves that come from the sea.
And so my beloved, when red leaves are falling,
the love bells shall ring out, ring out for you and me.
Bless our homes, O Lady of Providence
Guide our loved ones, though they roam.
At the throne of God unite us,
Queen of Mothers, Queen of home.
