The Fallen OakNotes
Verses was republished for the centennial of Jewett's birth in an edition by Burton Trafton, Jr. (Cleveland: American Weave Press, 1949). Trafton made a few changes, notably, adding his brief preface, placing "The Fallen Oak" before the contents list and removing the title from that list, and combining the two opening poems under one title, "To My Father," while retaining the roman numerals to distinguish two parts.
* Kevin Siegfried has given musical settings to "The Boat Song," "The Eagle Trees," and these two poems, re-titling "The Gloucester Mother" as "In Restless Waves." These were commissioned by the Community Chorus at South Berwick and premiered in its 2005-6, 30th anniversary season performance, "The River Runs Through Us." They are available on the album: Simple Gifts: http://www.gothic-catalog.com/Simple_Gifts_Tudor_Choir_Doug_Fullington_director_p/g-49265.htm**"Boat Song" also was set to music, apparently by Richard Hoffman (1813-1909), and published by G. Schirmer of New York in 1879. However, a copy of this setting has not been located. See John Austin Parker, "Sarah Orne Jewett's 'Boat Song.'" American Literature 23:1 (March 1951) 133-136, who notes that the Library of Congress has a copy. To find a copy and present an image of it as part of the SOJ Text Project would be good. Assistance would be appreciated.
