The bonny lighter-boy

Green broom

Searching for lambs

Arise, arise

The saucy sailor

Dabbling in the dew

Blackbirds and thrushes

The sprig of thyme

The seeds of love

The crystal spring

Sweet Kitty

Farewell, Nancy

One man shall mow my meadow

The barley-mow

The tree in the wood

The sheep-shearing

Spanish ladies

Bold Nelson's praise
