Composed in 1913-1914, this collection of thirteen songs sets poems by Francis Jammes from "Tristesses" (1905) for high voice and piano. Lili Boulanger (1893-1918) directed that, "all of these melodies should be sung with the feeling of evoking a past that has remained full of freshness." Dedicated to Gabriel Fauré, like most of her small output, the work was first published posthumously in 1919, a year after the composer's tragically short life ended. Reprint edition. Songs included: 1. Elle était descendue au bas de la prairie, 2. Elle est gravement gaie, 3. Parfois, je suis triste, 4. Un poète disait, 5. Au pied de mon lit, 6. Si tout ceci n'est qu'un pauvre rêve, 7. Nous nous aimerons tant, 8. Vous m'avez regardé avec toute votre âme, 9. Les Lilas qui avaient fleuri, 10. Deux Ancolies, 11. Par ce que j'ai souffert, 12. Je garde une médaille d'elle, 13. Demain fera un an.
