The song was first published in the cultural magazine The Dome – "a Quarterly containing Examples of All the Arts".[1] It is artistically scripted in Elgar's own hand, and signed and dated “12.IX.97.”
Elgar later included a revised version of the poem as the second song, renamed "In Haven", in his song-cycle for voice and orchestra "Sea Pictures".[2][3]

gollark: I may need to turn off the `git pull` thing or figure out how to heavily sandbox services in systemd.
gollark: So they both run as the AutoBotRobot account, but Esobot and AutoBotRobot are still separate... codebases.
