Songs from The book of hours: love poems to God. Your first word was light ; The hour is striking so close above me ; I love the dark hours of my being ; I love you, gentlest of ways ; No one lives his life ; His caring is a nightmare to us ; Extinguish my eyes, I'll go on seeing you (34:00) -- Songs from The blue estuaries.
