We are working on musical arrangements of It was too late for man by Emily Dickinson and they will be published on a date yet to be decided.

It was too late for man,
But early yet for God;
Creation impotent to help,
But prayer remained our side.

How excellent the heaven,
When earth cannot be had;
How hospitable, then, the face
Of our old neighbor, God!
