Civitas Sancti Tui by William Byrd - Lux Brumalis

Civitas Sancti Tui by William Byrd.
Civitas sancti tui facta est deserta.
Sion deserta facta est,
Jerusalem desolata est.
Your holy city has become a wilderness.
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem has been made desolate.
This text is as potent as ever today, given the horrific events we have been watching in historic Palestine over the past year.
