An idiosyncratic setting by Merz of a Gerard Manley Hopkins poem, Starlight Night. Hopkins seems to be saying that the stars are departed souls in heaven and the starry night is like a boundary between us and Christ's home.
"This piece-bright paling shuts the spouse
Christ home, Christ and his mother and all his hallows."
Just gorgeous.
