FEAR NOT, DEAR FRIEND, BUT FREELY LIVE YOUR DAYS

MAN SAILS THE DEEP AWHILE
THE COCK'S CLEAR VOICE INTO THE CLEARER AIR

FAIR ISLE AT SEA
LOUD AND LOW IN THE CHIMNEY

MEN ARE HEAVEN'S PIERS
THE ANGLER ROSE, HE TOOK HIS ROD
SPRING CAROL
TO WHAT SHALL I COMPARE HER?
WHEN THE SUN COMES AFTER RAIN

GOD GAVE TO ME A CHILD IN PART
OVER THE LAND IS APRIL
LIGHT AS THE LINNET ON MY WAY I START
COME, HERE IS ADIEU TO THE CITY
