Voice and piano (2006-7)
Will-o’-the-Wisp – Walter de la Mare
Now close the windows – Robert Frost

Out in the dark – Edward Thomas
The ‘Early’ of the title refers to both the time in my life in which these songs were written, as well as the portrayal of dusk and early night. The first and last songs have a simple folksong-like quality, and frame two darker, more haunting nocturnes.
