Four Songs for Young Lady

Song Cycle by Henry Leland Clarke (1907 - 1992)

?. The year's at the spring  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
The year's at the spring
And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearl'd;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn;
God's in His heaven --
All's right with the world!

Text Authorship:

  • by Robert Browning (1812 - 1889), no title, appears in Pippa Passes

?. The yardstick  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
Yardstick that measured out so many miles of cloth, 
Yardstick that covered me, 
I wonder do you hop of nights 
Out to the still hill's cemetery, 
And up and down go measuring 
A clayey grave for me?

Text Authorship:

And coral! Oh, I'll
Climb the great pasture rocks
And dream me mermaid in the sun's
Gold flood.
