Sung by Isabel I'Anson
Solveig's Song; Margaret's Cradle Song; In the Boat (Im Kahne); Eros (Benzon)

Peer Gynt, in Ibsen's famous play, has wasted his whole life, wandering over the earth, having all kinds of fantastic experiences, but never doing anything very useful, bent only on the glorification of Self.
Once he has a vision.
He sees Solveig, who loves him, sitting spinning outside the old hut he built long ago for himself and her. She is now a middle-aged woman, but still fair-haired and comely, and as she spins she thinks of Peer and sings 'Thou wilt return some day and find me waiting.' This is known as Solveig's Song.
In the second song Margaret, watching over her baby boy Haakon, weaves sweet fancies about him, and prays God to shield him from all harm. '
In Eros, the poet, in declamatory style, calls on the 'frosty cold hearts of the North,' who 'seek roses when past is the day,' to tarry not, but 'go forth to love's happy meeting,' for 'that is the only true greatest earthly joy to be found!'
