Thanks - you've done an amazing job there. I have never been able to understand how it came about that Cicely Fox Smith's very existence has been totally ignored by the literary establishment for all these years, and still is now. For example, not a mention in the Oxford Companion to English Literature. And yet her songs/poems get passed around and performed, and learned by heart across the country and around the world, in a way that is true of very few of her comtemporaries.

Good luck in chasing up the remaining verses. And I wish someone could find someof her prose stories and post them somewhere. In fact it'd be great if someone could produce a biography. I'm sure there's the makings of a fascinating story.
