DURATION: Approximately 4 minutes

This song was written in response to Charles Ives’ Mists, the 57th of his 114 Songs. This piece sets the first two lines of Ives’ original text, found below:

Low lie the mists; they hide each hill and dell;
The grey skies weep with us who bid farewell.

This song was written to precede Charles Ives’ “Mists”, which may be performed immediately afterward, without pause, if desired.
