I love all beauteous things, I seek and adore them; God hath no better praise, And man in his hasty days Is honoured for them. I too will something make And joy in the making! Altho' tomorrow it seem' Like the empty words of a dream Remembered, on waking.
Five Part-Songs for Women's Choir, Set II
Song Cycle by Fritz Bennicke Hart (1874 - 1949)

Language: English
The idle life I lead Is like a pleasant sleep, Wherein I rest and heed The dreams that by me sweep. And still of all my dreams In turn so swiftly past, Each in its fancy seems A nobler than the last. And every eve I say, Noting my step in bliss, That I have known no day In all my life like this.

Crown Winter with green, And give him good drink To physic his spleen Or ever he think. His mouth to be bowl His feet to the fire; And let him, good soul, No comfort desire. So merry he be, I bid him abide: And merry be we This good Yuletide.

Language: English
The upper skies are palest blue Mottled with pearl and fretted snow: With tattered fleece of inky hue Close overhead the stormclouds go. Their shadows fly along the hill And o'er the crest mount one by one: The whitened planking of the mill Is now in shade and now in sun.
