5 Songs on texts of William Blake: The Wild Flower's Song, very slowly ♩=60; Eternity, quickly; The Angel, dreamily; The Fly, lightly; The Sick Rose, sadly
No full textA facsimile of a music score paper for medium voice. The words are from poems by William Blake.Vocal, Piano11 pages; 11 x 13 1/2The Wild Flower’s Song:
As I wander’d the forest,
The green leaves among,
I heard a wild flower
Singing a song.
I slept in the Earth
In the silent night,
I murmur’d my fears
And I felt delight.
In the morning I went
As rosy as morn,
To seek for new joy;
But O! met with scorn.
Eternity:
He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy
He who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sunrise
The Angel:
I dreamt a dream! What can it mean?
And that I was a maiden Queen
Guarded by an Angel mild:
Witless woe was ne’er beguiled!
And I wept both night and day,
And he wiped my tears away;
And I wept both day and night,
And hid from him my heart’s delight.
So he took his wings, and fled;
Then the morn blushed rosy red.
I dried my tears, and armed my fears
With ten thousand shields and spears.
Soon my Angel came again;
I was armed, he came in vain;
For the time of youth was fled,
And grey hairs were on my head.
The Fly:
Little fly,
Thy summer’s play
My thoughtless hand
Has brushed away.
Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?
For I dance
And drink and sing,
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.
If thought is life
And strength and breath,
And the want
Of thought is death,
Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die.
The Sick Rose:
O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy
Haroun Al Raschid; no tempo markings given
No full textOriginal manuscript written in pencil on mimeographed staff paper. The words are from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "Haroun Al Raschid".Vocal, Pianoscore 5 pages; 8 1/2 x 11One day, Haroun Al Raschid read
A book wherein the poet said: --
Where are the kings, and where the rest
Of those who once the world possessed?
They're gone with all their pomp and show,
They're gone the way that thou shalt go.
O thou who choosest for thy share
The world, and what the world calls fair,
Take all that it can give or lend,
But know that death is at the end!
Haroun Al Raschid bowed his head:
Tears fell upon the page he read

Heat; motionless ♩=52
No full textOriginal manuscript with musical notes in pen. Words, titles, and other notations are typed. The words are from Hilda Doolittle's poem "Heat".Vocal, Piano3 pages; 8 1/2 x 11O wind, rend open the heat,
cut apart the heat,
rend it to tatters.
Fruit cannot drop
through this thick air—
fruit cannot fall into heat
that presses up and blunts
the points of pears
and rounds the grapes.
Cut the heat—
plough through it,
turning it on either side
of your path
Our Love was Just a Sigh; moderately slow ♩=58
No full textOriginal manuscript with musical notes in pen. Words, titles, and other notations are typed.Vocal, Piano3 pages; 8 1/2 x 11Like a butterfly, our love was just a sigh;
But oh, what a fine time we had; we two in the sky way up high;
We flew together.
We tasted all that life could give and some more.
Did we ever think our love would say goodbye in so short of a time?
It was over as the tide that never stays in place.
Like a butterfly our love was just a sigh;
But why did it have to end so soon?
Like a butterfly our love was just a sigh, just a sigh
