No Coward Soul Is Mine

O God of heaven!

Lord of Elbe, on Elbe hill

Cold, clear, and blue the morning heaven

Tell me, tell me, smiling child

High waving heather 'neath stormy blasts bending

The night of storms has past

I saw thee, child, one summer day

The battle had passed from the height

Alone I sat; the summer day

The night is darkening round me

I'll come when thou art saddest

I would have touched the heavenly key

Now trust a heart that trusts in you

Sleep brings no joy to me

Strong I stand, though I have borne

O Mother! I am not regretting

Awake, awake! how loud the stormy morning

O wander not so far away!

Why do I hate that lone green dell?

Gleneden's Dream

Douglas Ride

What rider up Gobeloin's glen

Geraldine, the moon is shining

Where were ye all? and where wert thou?

Light up thy halls! 'Tis closing day

O dream, where art thou now?

How still, how happy! These are words

The night was dark, yet winter breathed

The Absent One…

To the Bluebell

The busy day has hurried by

And now the house dog stretched once more

Come hither, child; who gifted thee…
