Richard Savage
She Sauntered By The Swinging Seas
Some Starlit Garden Grey With Dew
Space And Dread And The Dark
The Full Sea Rolls And Thunders
The Gods Are Dead?
The Past Was Goodly Once
The Sands Are Alive With Sunshine
The Sea Is Full Of Wandering Foam
The Shadow Of Dawn
The Skies Are Strown With Stars
The Song Of The Sword - To Rudyard Kipling
The Spring, My Dear
The Surges Gushed And Sounded
The Wan Sun Westers, Faint And Slow
The Ways Are Green
The West A Glimmering Lake Of Light
There Is A Wheel Inside My Head
There's A Regret
Time And The Earth

Tree, Old Tree Of The Triple Crook
Trees And The Menace Of Night
Two Days
We Are The Choice Of The Will
We Flash Across The Level
We Shall Surely Die
We'll Go No More A-Roving
What Have I Done For You
What Is To Come We Know Not
When The Wind Storms By With A Shout
When You Are Old
When You Wake In Your Crib
Where Forlorn Sunsets Flare And Fade
While The West Is Paling
Why, My Heart, Do We Love Her So?
You Played And Sang A Snatch Of Song
Your Heart Has Trembled To My Tongue
