There were still three suns in the sky --The flood --The rabbit is the dwarves' mule --Long ago when the world was made --You have a soul that cannot die --I am a night so dark that I resent the moon --Instructs how all things foretell death --Love poem by Michelangelo --This afternoon in rolling, partly wooded country --The old boat --The judgement of Paris --Western country --The chaff --Wanting a soul in the South --To the hand --A prayer of the eyes --In spring, if there are dogs --The dreamers --The heart --The next moon --The arrival --Robin --The counting houses --The estuary --Autumn evening --Beloved for October.
