Eight songs from the cycle by Arthur Somervell to poems' by A. E. Housman

The street sounds to the soldiers' tread
On the idle hill of summer
White in the moon the long road lies Think no more, lad ; laugh, be jolly The lads in their hundreds sung by Arthur Copley (baritone) with Josephine Lee (piano)
