He dwelt among “apartments let”
About five stories high

Ludwig Thuille Sehnsucht / Longing
Sie ist ein Ton von dorten her,
Wo alles Feier ist;
Ich wollte, daß ich dorten wär,
Wo man den Lärm vergißt.
Ludwig Thuille Waldeinsamkeit / Forest solitude
O peace, o quiet, come over me
How I love you, love you, forest solitude
Nadia Boulanger Cantique
To all weeping souls
to all sin to pass
I open in the midst of the stars
my hands full of grace
Nadia Boulanger Chanson
She sold my heart for a song
Sell my heart at the square,
dealer, in place of the song
Federico Mompou Pastoral
For the night I must go to you
like the light over the hills
Adolf Jensen Lehn’ deine Wang’ / Lay your cheek against my cheek
Lay your cheek against my cheek,
Then our tears will flow together;
Gunnar de Frumerie När du sluter mina ögon / When you close my eyes
When you close my eyes
with your good hand
everything turns to light around me
Gunnar de Frumerie Det blir vackert där du går / There is beauty where you walk
Can the earth rejoice when someone walks on her,
steps on her,
someone she loves?
Gunnar de Frumerie Det är vackrast när det skymmer/ It’s the most beautiful at dusk
I shall wander alone, without a trace.
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor You lay so still in the Sunshine
A butterfly lit on your hand
Mistaking it for a flow’r
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Rainbow-Child
She wooed him till he lov’d her
And his kisses fell as rain
