"This song was written in 1889 for Tenbury Musical Society and was dedicated to the Rev. J Hampton, Warden of St Michael's College, Tenbury. The words were published in the Century Magazine. This song was the earliest Elgar partsong to be published (by Novello in 1890) and was subsequently catalogued in Opus 18, together with two songs which were individually published much later (Op. 18/1 in 1896 and Op. 18/2 in 1907).<br>"

:My love dwelt in a Northern land. :A dim tower in a forest green :Was his and far away the sand :And gray wash of the waves were seen :The woven forest boughs between: :And through the Northern summer night :The sunset slowly died away, :And herds of strange deer, silverwhite, :Came gleaming through the forest gray, :And fled like ghosts before the day. :And oft that month we watched the moon :Wax great and white o'er wood and lawn :And wane, with waning of the June, :Till, like a brand for battle drawn, :She fell, and flamed in a wild dawn. :I know not if the forest green :Still girdles round that castle gray. :I know not if, the boughs between, :The white deer vanish ere the day: :The grass above my love is green, :His heart is colder than the clay.
