Subject: RE: Poems set to music
As Sailor Ron mnetioned above, a number of us have been setting the poems of Cicely Fox Smith to tune, some 70 of her poems to date. In addition to myself there are Alan Fitzsimmons, Bob Zentz, Peter Massy & Gordon Morris, William Pint, Michael Kennedy, and others.

I have also been adapting for swinging the nautical poems of Burt Franklin Jenness, William McFee, Harry Kemp, Bill Adams, Edwin C. Brady, Robert Louis Stevenson, and John Masefield.
