Subject: In the gloaming From: ellen@rivernet.net Date: 28 Jul 98 - 07:18 AM I don't know if I am in the right section or not, but I have been looking for the words in the song called "In The Gloaming" If anyone can help me, would you send the words to me at my e-mail address. I am second generation Scottish and would much appreciate it if someone could help me with this. Many thanks to whoever may find the time for me. Ellen

Subject: RE: In the gloaming From: alison Date: 28 Jul 98 - 07:22 AM Hi, If you seardh the database you will find 3 songs which mention "in the gloaming" but none are the ones I was thinking of. I remember a slow one that started "In the gloaming, Oh my darling," I can't remember the rest but it might jog someone else's memory. Or possibly "Roaming in the gloaming, on the bonnie banks of Clyde". Are either of these what you're looking for? Slainte Alison

Subject: RE: In the gloaming From: Wolfgang Hell Date: 28 Jul 98 - 10:05 AM In the gloaming, Oh my darling! When the lights are dim and low, And the quiet shadows falling, Softly come and softly go, When the winds are sobbing faintly With a gentle unknown woe, Will you think of me and love me As you did once long ago? It was best to leave you thus, Best for you and best for me. There wasn't more at the webpage I copied this from. Wolfgang |

Subject: Lyr/Tune Add: IN THE GLOAMING (Annie F Harrison) From: Joe Offer Date: 28 Jul 98 - 07:06 PM I found this in the "Fireside Book of Love Songs." I couldn't find out anything about the history of the song, though. Can anybody help? -Joe Offer IN THE GLOAMING music by Annie Fortescue Harrison (Lady Arthur Hill), 1877 lyrics by Meta Orred, 1874 In the gloaming, Oh my darling! When the lights are dim and low, And the quiet shadows falling, Softly come and softly go, When the winds are sobbing faintly With a gentle unknown woe, Will you think of me and love me As you did once long ago? It was best to leave you thus, Best for you and best for me. In the gloaming, Oh my darling! Think not bitterly of me. Though I passed away in silence, Left you lonely, set you free, For my heart is crushed with longing, What had been could never be. It was best to leave you thus, dear, Best for you and best for me. It was best to leave you thus, Best for you and best for me.

Subject: RE: In the gloaming From: Bill in Alabama Date: 29 Jul 98 - 09:49 AM I found the song at the Levy Sheet Music site--composer, lyricist, etc., along with words and music. No date is given; the song was included in a book of 54 free popular songs, sponsored by Bromo-Seltzer and distributed by a drug company. Looks to be late 19th-early 20th century. |

Subject: RE: In the gloaming From: Joe Offer Date: 27 Oct 98 - 02:08 AM I've looked all over for a history of this song, and came up with nothing. I'd agree with Bill in Alabama that it sounds like late 19th or early 20th century. It's in my (reprint) copy of "Heart Songs," which was originally published in 1909 - that collection was supposed to be a collection of the most popular songs of all time. I'd sure like to know more. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: In the gloaming From: Joe Offer Date: 30 Oct 98 - 10:22 PM I just got a book in the mail that I had ordered a couple of weeks ago. It's The Book of World-Famous Music, by James J. Fuld, 1966 & 1971. Fuld says the words for "In the Gloaming" were first printed in Meta Orred's Poems (London, 1874). Annie Fortescue Harrison (Lady Arthur Hill) composed the song in 1877, the year of her marriage to Lord Arthur Hill, the comptroller of Queen Victoria's household. She died in England in 1944, at the age of ninety-three. Orred was a poetess and writer of literary works published in the 1870's and died in 1953. I'd say we now have a pretty complete history of the song. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: In the gloaming From: Dale Rose Date: 31 Oct 98 - 01:01 AM I don't really have anything to add, just that it is the only song I ever remember hearing my Dad actually sing when he was younger. Consequently, it has a special place in my memory. (He died in 92, aged 93) |
