Go back
Why I love her
Discontent
A dream
The night

Returned birds

A curious story
Jenny Lind
Life's key
Bridge of prayer
New year
Deceitful calm
Un Rencontre
Burned out
Only a glove
Reminders
A dirge
Not anchored
The new love
An east wind
Cheating time
Only a slight flirtation
What the rain saw
After
Our petty cares
The ship and the boat
Come near
A suggestion
A fisherman's baby
Content and happiness
The Cusine
I wonder why
A woman's hand
Presentiment
Two rooms
Three at the opera
A strain of music
Smoke
An autumn day
Wishes
The play
As we look back
Why
Listen
Together
One night
Lost nation
The captive
No song
Two friends
I didn't think
A burial
Their faces
The lullaby
Mirage
Alone in the house
An old bouquet
At the bridal
Best
