The poem above is sometimes called “I Am” due to its repetition of the phrase. Was the poem inspired? The Hebrew name for God, YHWH, means “I am” or “I am that I am.” And there does seem to be something magical about the poem, as it was written by a woman who, to our knowledge, had never written a poem before. Mary Elizabeth Frye was an orphan with no formal education. In 1932 she and her husband hosted a young Jewish woman, Margaret Schwarzkopf, who was fleeing the Holocaust. When she received news that her mother had died in Germany, the heartbroken houseguest told Frye in despair that she had never had the chance to “stand by my mother’s grave and shed a tear.” Frye found herself composing the poem above on a ripped-off section of a brown paper shopping bag. She said the words “just came to her.” less

Zither Carol transposed for men's voices
This is a transposed version of Malcolm Sargent's "Zither Carol".

It is based on a Czech Furiant (a fast dance with metre shifting between duple and triple time) called "Sedlák, sedlák", which was also sung as a light-hearted and frolicsome song gently poking fun at a corpulent farmer.
The words of the carol are by Malcolm Sargent himself.
Girls and boys, leave your toys. make no noise,
Kneel at His crib and worship Him.
At Thy shrine, Child divine, we are Thine,
Our Saviour's here.
"Hallelujah!" the church bells ring,
"Hallelujah!" the angels sing,
"Hallelujah!" from ev'rything.
All must draw near.

Ancor che col partire
io mi senta morire,
partir vorrei ogn'hor, ogni momento:
tant'e il piacer ch'io sento
de la vita ch'acquisto nel ritorno:
et cosi mill'e mille volt'il giorno
partir da voi vorrei:
tanto son dolci gli ritorni miei.
Although when I leave you
it is as if I were dying,
I would wish to leave you every hour, every moment,
I am so very happy
when life comes back to me when I return:
and so I wish I could leave you
many thousand times a day
because my heart leaps with joy when I return.
