I'm mulling over whether any of the poems by C. Fox Smith (1882-1954) that have been adapted for singing will become "traditional." There are many that would be good candidates in terms of structure and tune but only a few that have become anonymous enough so that people actually thought they were traditional.

"Homeward" comes to mind, composed during World War 1 and which resurfaced in the 1970's as an anonymous poem whose location shifted from the Western Front to India. Sarah Morgan spotted it in a military newsletter and adapted it for singing, retitling it "Home, Boys, Home," and it's now been recorded by more than a dozen different groups, and sung at innumerable folk clubs.

Cheerily,
