We are working on musical arrangements of Pleasure! by Walter Savage Landor and they will be published on a date yet to be decided.

Pleasure! why thus desert the heart
In its spring-tide?
I could have seen her, I could part,
And but have sigh’d!

O’er every youthful charm to stray,
To gaze, to touch....
Pleasure! why take so much away,
Or give so much?
