    ”Poems” is a collection of three timeless pieces by three adored poets from three different centuries. The work of Dylan Thomas, Queen Elizabeth I and Edgar Allan Poe spoke to me and these three poems became my favorites. By putting music to them, it felt like a timeless connection between the writers and me. The poems, about the death of a father; about not finding a place of belonging in the world; and about ill-fated love, all remain topical today, 65, 200 and 400 years later.

    Also included are two of my own songs. “Spiders”, about the monsters in our minds and “The Fault In Our Stars” inspired by John Green’s book with the same name.

    I hope you will enjoy the songs as much as I enjoyed making them!

    Love,
    Hildur Höglind

Text: Queen Elizabeth I of England
Music: Hildur Höglind

lyrics

I grieve and dare not show my discontent,
I love and yet am forced to seem to hate,
I do, yet dare not say I ever meant,
I seem stark mute but inwardly do prate.
I am and not, I freeze and yet am burned,
Since from myself another self I turned.

My care is like my shadow in the sun,
Follows me flying, flies when I pursue it,
Stands and lies by me, doth what I have done.
His too familiar care doth make me rue it.
No means I find to rid him from my breast,
Till by the end of things it be suppress.
No means I find to rid him from my breast,
Till by the end of things it be supprest.

Some gentler passion slide into my mind,
For I am soft and made of melting snow;
Or be more cruel, love, and so be kind.
Let me or float or sink, be high or low.
Or let me live with some more sweet content,
Or die and so forget what love ere meant.
Or let me live with some more sweet content,
Or die and so forget what love ere meant.
