Three Songs for High Voice and Piano

Song Cycle by Otto Luening (1900 - 1996)

1. Gliding o'er all  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
Gliding o'er all, through all,
Through Nature, Time, and Space,
As a ship on the waters advancing,
The voyage of the soul--not life alone,
Death, many deaths I'll sing.

2. Young love  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
Are not the joys of morning sweeter
Than the joys of night?
And are the vigorous joys of youth
Ashamèd of the light?

Let age and sickness silent rob
The vineyards in the night;
But those who burn with vigorous youth
Pluck fruits before the light.
