    In the Gloaming - American Quartet (1910)

    A rendition by American Quartet (with Will Oakland) of "In the Gloaming", a song first composed in 1877 by Annie Fortescue Harrison (1850/1–1944) using lyrics taken from a poem by Meta Orred (1845/6-1893).

    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?


    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 was crushed with longing;

    What had been could never be.

    It was best to leave you thus, dear,

    Best for you and best for me.
