1. Sweetheart, thy lips are touched with flame
2. Sings the nightingale to the rose
3. The rose leans over the pool
4. Love’s like a summer rose
5. As in waves without number
6. Dear love, when in thine arms I lie
7. Was I not thine
8. In mead where roses bloom
9. Sister fairest, why are thou sighing?
10. Oh, let night speak of me
11. I said to the Wind of the South
12. Were I a Prince Egyptian
