In another thread, someone wondered if a composer's name really was Chudleigh Candish- I posted that both were names of old English families, both with many descendants scattered over the globe and each with several noteworthy members, some known across Canada.

When I came across Mary Chudleigh, I found this poem on several websites and listed in several collections.
I thought it very good, and I couldn't resist posting it for others to see.
