While I have the books out, may as well add a comment upon "The Day is Past and Gone." Masato, The Sweet Songster was submitted for copyright and first printed in 1854, by E.W. Billups, and the name he gives, to the right of the title, is Dupuy. No mention of Leland nor Jenks. And the Anglo American Psalmody source you gave for "Evening Shade," (with a very different melody) makes the song even older- and gives the composer as Elisha West. Could it be that all these men have been merely discoverers and arrangers of a song actually written by Anonnymous? Jean
