Songs in this Series

'Tis done - but yesterday a King! Arnold Schoenberg

Ill-minded man! Arnold Schoenberg

Thanks for that lesson Arnold Schoenberg

The triumph and the vanity Arnold Schoenberg

The Desolator desolate! Arnold Schoenberg

He who of old would rend the oak Arnold Schoenberg

The Roman, when his burning heart Arnold Schoenberg

The Spaniard, when the lust of sway Arnold Schoenberg

But thou - from thy reluctant hand Arnold Schoenberg

And Earth hath spilt her blood for him Arnold Schoenberg

Thine evil deeds are writ in gore Arnold Schoenberg

Weigh'd in the balance Arnold Schoenberg

And she, proud Austria's mournful flower Arnold Schoenberg

Then haste thee to thy sullen Isle Arnold Schoenberg

Thou Timour! in his captive's cage Arnold Schoenberg

Or, like the thief of fire from heaven Arnold Schoenberg

There was a day - there was an hour Arnold Schoenberg

But thou forsooth must be a king Arnold Schoenberg

Where may the wearied eye repose Arnold Schoenberg
