| About the Song | description:
Several books site the following poem as carved in a rock on Mt. Katahdin. "Here's a hail to each flaming dawn Here's a cheer to the night that's gone May I go a-roamin' on Until the day I die" We wrote our song around this public anonymous poem. We have never seen this rock, nor found any further information about this rock or this poem - on or off the web. Of course, Considering that MT. Katahdin is covered in thousands (millions?) of rocks this may not be so surprising. Finally an intrepid scholar discovered this was originally from the poem "A Rolling Stone" by Robert William Service (1913) Title: Mount Katahdin Author(s):Richard & FloraLee Newman Year:© 2009 Pro:BMI Licensing: contact authors Publisher: contact authors |
