Most of the texts I've chosen were poems before music was put to them by a later artist... the poem by RMW was set to music by Cyril Meir Scott, here is the original poem included with the music score: http://en.instr.scorser.com/D/667909.html. Finding the music played is problematic on the web... some is popular and available, most are not apparently.

Scott’s verse is intensely romantic, one of his favourite poets being Ernest Dowson (1867-1900), many of whose poems he set to music. What he said of Dowson could apply equally well to his own verse: “Although passion is not missing from some of Dowson’s lyrics, it is always enshrouded in an atmosphere of roses and violets, of softness and shadows”.
