3 Songs, Op.15 (Gibbs, Cecil Armstrong)

It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1928 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

Op.15 No.1 is set for voice, SSAA chorus, piano and was originally Op.9 No.2. Op.15 No.2 originally Op.9 No.3, nos. 2 and 3 (originally Op.9 No.5) first performed 1918 (no.3 in a version for voice and piano). "Five Eyes" also set by the composer in a form published 1948 for TTBB a cappella (Recmusic.org does not say whether that setting is related to Op.15 No.2.) (Op.15 No.2 first appears for voice - variously high, low - and piano in Worldcat, later in arrangements-- however (see Gibbs website:
Originally published as part of 5 Dream Songs, Op.9 for soprano and string quartet.
The Grove Music entry reads "[3 Songs] (de la Mare), S, str qt: The Little Green Orchard (1917), Five Eyes, 1917, A Song of Shadows, 1917; no.2 as duet (1921); no.3 arr. SSA, pf (1921), orig. op.9". This would rather indicate that the original, which Grove says was published in 1917, was soprano, string quartet for all 3, and that they were later arranged for voice and piano or 2 voices and piano.
