| Spirit of Night | B |
| Out of the misty eastern cave | A |

| Swift be thy flight | B |

| Touching all with thine opiate wand | B |
| Come long sought | B |

| Thy brother Death came and cried | B |
| 'Wouldst thou me ' | - |
| Thy sweet child Sleep the filmy eyed | B |

| I ask of thee beloved Night | B |
| Swift be thine approaching flight | B |
| Come soon soon | G |
