About This Book
A brief vocal piece pairs simple, folk-inflected verses with a repeated refrain that urges perseverance through hardship. Using rural and musical images — watching for bright skies, hoping the sun will rise, singing despite sorrow, continuing to plow after missed crops, dancing when the fiddle falls silent, and remaining faithful until the curtain drops — the lyrics promise that steady effort leads to arrival in the morning. The text is rendered in dialectal phrasing and the score supplies a singable melody and accompaniment intended for communal performance.
