Foreword Ermengard Maitland
A dream in early spring
Liturgy
Snowdrops
Upstairs
Sops of light
A small chink
Hoops at dusk
The rain
The house of lights
Revelation
The water mill
The darned frock
Dreams and journeys
A wood cutter's song
Fancies
February night
I dreamt I climbed the apple tree
Everyone has gone to town
Bettina at dusk
From The south wind
A dream
The kingdom of heaven
The new ghost
Ave Maria
May morning
At night
December moon
Out of doors
The watering pot
From The river of life
The bathe
More tunes in my spirit blow.
