about

One of Julian’s most famous visions is of a hazelnut, found on the floor of her cell. In her mind, it becomes the world and speaks of hope.

lyrics

It’s night time when I find the nut, this restless city sleeps
The harbour’s quiet, the rigging still, for now, the silence deep
I hold the nut in candlelight and see a growing thing
I seem to hold the whole world here, and sense the angels sing

‘Three delights we share with you, three joys we now declare to you
The nut you hold has heaven in its form
This world is made, this world is loved, this world securely kept!’
I wept the night a nut became the world

The city dreams, the bell strikes two, the witching hour for many
I irritate myself with thoughts; they’re not worth a traveller’s penny
I hold the nut in candle light, good cheer all packed and gone
But shift inside me, sudden change, when I hear the angel song
