description Engraved score on vellum music score paper for medium voice. The words are from William Blake's poem "I Asked a Thief".Vocal, Piano2 pages; 11 x 13 1/2I asked a thief to steal me a peach: He turned up his eyes.

And without one word Had a peach from the tree And still as a maid Enjoy'd the lady.
