Five Poems, Op.53
I. Lauds (Among the leaves the small birds sing)
II. O lurcher-loving collier
III. What's in your mind, my dove, my coney?
IV. Eyes look into the well
V. Carry her over the water
Night covers up the rigid land, Op.14, No.2
Lay your sleeping head, my love, Op.14, No.2b
On This Island, Op.11
Let the floried music praise
Now the leaves are falling fast
Seascape
Nocturne
As it is, plenty
Fish in the unruffled lakes
Night covers up the rigid land
To lie flat on the back
The sun shines down
What's on your mind?
Underneath the abject willow
Cabaret Songs
Tell me the truth about love
Funeral blues
Johnny
Calypso
When you're feeling like expressing your affection
Underneath the abject willow (duet)
