You can see the original sheet music for THE LETTERS WE CARVED ON THE TREE at the Library of Congress website.
Indeed, it was published by Oliver Ditson & Co. in New York in 1883, and the correct songwriting credit given there is:
Words by George Russell Jackson, music by Frank B. Haynes
and the lyrics contain "consent" not "comment."
