Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 2 verses of 'Hard Times'
Well, Callie, I'm still hoping Aux will give us a more definitive answer. While the source of the lyrics was Molineux, who wrote them? Foster himself? All the sources I checked have just the four verses that are in the Digital Tradition (pause in life's pleasures, seek mirth & beauty, pale drooping maiden, sigh that is wafted), so I'm assuming those were the only verses Foster wrote, and the verses above were penned by another person - was it Molineux? Who's he? -Joe Offer-
