Songs of Love and Parting is a folk album released in 1981 by Robin Williamson. This album is the first since Myrrh to not include his Merry Band. One notable track, "For Mr. Thomas", was a tribute to the Welsh bard and would later be covered by Van Morrison. The 2005 CD re-release by Gott Discs includes 5 bonus poetry tracks: "Selected Writings". The "Selected Writings" were poems and songs by Williamson released on cassette, but were only ever available in concert.
