In the Gloaming (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1877 British song
Not to be confused with the 1911 song "Roamin' In The Gloamin' ".

"In the Gloaming" is an 1877 British song composed by Annie Fortescue Harrison with lyrics taken from a poem by Meta Orred. Orred's poem (of the same title as the song) appeared in her 1874 book Poems.[1] "Gloaming" is a regional dialect term of Scots origin denoting "twilight".[citation needed ]

The 1877 song, a lament of romantic regret, was very popular in the United States that year,[1] and was again popularized in America in the 1910s by a recording made by The American Quartet with Will Oakland.[citation needed ]
