==Storia==

Elgar's sketches for the accompanying music were written separately from the words. At the end of the sketches he wrote ''"Fine del songs November 11th 1930"''.

Gli schizzi di Elgar per la musica di accompagnamento furono scritti separatamente dalle parole. Alla fine degli schizzi scrisse ''Fine del songs November 11th 1930''.
