This entry contributed by G&K around 9/26/98 Know this song? Add your review! Music Comments: A relatively short setting of this text. Majestic but not especially joyful to my ear--bittersweet perhaps. In slow walking time. Top is approached in nice arc Text Comments: Full text: Joy, shipmate, joy! (Pleased to my soul at death I cry,) Our life is closed, our life begins, the long, long anchorage we leave. The ship is clear at last, at last she leaps! She courses swiftly from the shore. Joy shipmate, Joy! Recordings: unknown This entry contributed by G&K around 9/26/98. The contributor(s) looked over the song. "Junior's Prayer"
This entry contributed by CounterPoint Musical Services around 10/7/99 Know this song? Add your review! Music Comments: Marked "With a gentle swing". Aeolian. Somewhat tricky rhythmically. Text Comments: Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord to help me out. I'm flat on my back and left alone, so God bless nobody, please keep out. If I should die and fall asleep how will I run away from home? If I should wake before I die will I still be in the dark alone? Now I lay me down to sleep. But keep me awake, Lord, keep me awake!

This entry contributed by Lori Laitman around 10/5/99 Know this song? Add your review! Music Comments: quarter = 84. Composer notes the exploration of "the melismatic qualities of the voice. The song cycle draws to a close as both voice and cello soar together in a combination of happiness and sadness." Text Comments: Just us. In our little house, just us, Far from everybody. Far from the orld, Only the sound of water over stone. And then I say to you "Listen. Hear the wind in the trees hear the wind in our little house." This entry contributed by G&K around 10/5/99.

If only I had a stick, A greasy white cup with dark red flecks, And each bell trimmed so delicately, like our wax angels in their shrine. What do you think? Shall I cut a hazel rod And wade out a little way into the ford? Pah! Frogs and pikes don't scare me Alone, except for the waterman, Perhaps, over there, sitting in the tall plants. I¹m going to do it, now I'm not going As I stepped into the water I saw a face on the riverbed Come on, let¹s go home now, the sun burns!" This entry contributed by Andy Vores around 11/22/98.
