Here's a few that come to mind:
Bernstein's I Hate Music
Duke's Lewis Carroll Songs (not especially soprano-esque, however--I have
them if you're intrigued)
Brahms' Vergeblisches Standchen, Sandmannchen, and of course Wiegenlied
Mozart Der Zauberer, Das Veilchen
Schubert Die Vogel, Der Schmetterling, Der Jungling an der Quelle, Seligkeit
Copland's cycle of old songs (sorry, I can't recall the name)--includes I
bought me a cat
There are some settings of Walter de la Mare poems that could work
Stephen Foster songs
Nancy Hanks (sad!)
Haydn--My mother bids me bind my hair, Mermaid's song
Liza Lehmann--The Swing
Greig--Solveig's Song (works well in English)
Poor Wandring One or other G&S goodies
John Jacob Niles songs
almost any folk songs, spirituals.
