This is really awful, but there's a perfectly lovely setting of Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes in the Quilter collection of folk songs (sorry, I just can't remember the title at the moment, and I know they're not all folk songs). It's a lovely setting, but I've just never been able to assign it to anyone because all I can ever think of is that little owl whining through it. I should get over that...
