OK, here are my ten - interestingly enough, there isn't a single one that is
on both Liz's and my list, though some of hers would certainly be in my top
twenty:
Harp Song of the Dane Women
A Translation: Horace Bk V Ode 3
A St Helena Lullaby
Puck's Song
The Return
Piet
The Absent-Minded Beggar
The Last Rhyme of True Thomas
Gethsemane
Sestina of the Tramp-Royal
