Corp
To the city of London; The distant prospect; Sonnet composed upon Westminster Bridge; London; Glide gently; London is a fine town; To the city of London – reprise; Sleep; The owl and the pussycat; The Irish pig; Weep you no more sad fountains; Sensitive, seldom and sad; The ship of Rio; Break, break, break; Give to my eyes, Lord; Into my heart an air that kills; Oh, when I was in love with you; It nods and curtseys and recovers; You smile upon your friend to-day; Now hollow fires burn out to black; In the morning, in the morning; The sigh that heaves the grasses; When green buds hang in the elm like dust; I promise nothing: friends will part; Stone, steel, dominions pass; He, standing hushed, a pace or two apart; Into my heart an air that kills – reprise; The bath; Toward the unknown region; For him I sing; I am he that aches with love; Sometimes with one I love; Look down fair moon; What am I after all; As if a phantom caress’d me; The last invocation; A clear midnight; Joy, shipmate, joy!; Then last of all

Artists
