Discussed in Robert Jonas' article "Blowing Zen in Belfast" and included on his CD New Life From Ruins: Zen Celtic Sacred Songs and Meditations ... text is available online in a blog called theology, life and faith in the UK by Maggi Dawn, a British free-lancer with credits on spiritual topics.

As the rain hides the stars,
As the Autumn mist hides the hills,
As the clouds veil the blue of the sky,
So the dark happenings of my lot
Hide the shining of thy face from me.

Yet, if I may hold thy hand in the darkness,
It is enough.
Since I know, that though I may stumble in my going
Thou dost not fall.
