| Notes | Some confusion whether this song cycle was authored by the more famous François Adrien Boieldieu (1775-1834) or his illegitimate son Adrien Louis Victor Boieldieu (1815-1883). Grove Music Online alludes to the father going by Adrien, and Lieder.net attributes the work to him; the IMSLP lists the songs under the younger Boieldieu, but the physical score simply lists the composer as Adrien Boieldieu.
