The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs
for Janet Fairbank

night by silent sailing night,
Isobel,
wildwoods eyes and primarose hair,
quietly,
all the woods so wild
in mauves of moss and daphne dews
how all so still she lay
'neath of the white thorn,
child of tree
like some lost happy leaf
like blowing flower stilled
as fain would she anon
for soon again 'twill be,
win me, woo me, wed me,
ah! weary me
deepy,
now even calm lay sleeping
night,
Isobel,
Sister Isobel,
Saintette Isobel,
Madame Isa Veuve La Belle.

Песня для голоса без вибрато, использующего только три высоты, и для закрытого фортепиано, по которому следует ударять пальцами или запястьем.
