"This poem was one of the last of this gifted Canadian writer. It seems a premonition of her own death, though untimely it was. She fell a prey to pneumonia. Early the same year the poem was published in "SONGLAND AND HOME" Music Journal, with a prize offer by the editor for the best setting of it. Many meritorious settings were sent in, but in the editor's opinion, Prof. Wade Hampton Roach, one of the first graduates of the Western Normal and College of Music, furnished the best setting. Here it is, we bespeak for it a careful rendering and predict for it great usefulness." |
