Night had fallen on a day of deeds.
The great rafters in the red-ribbed hall
Flashed crimson in the fitful flame

Rang out a Skald's strong voice,
With tales of battles won,
Of Gudrun's love,
And Sigurd, Siegmund's son.

WALTON PROCESS CHICAGO

The copyright date of MDCCCLXIV [1864] for 136 and 138 should probably be MDCCCLXXXIV [1884], as Geo. F. Rosche
was not involved in music publishing before 1877. "In 1879 he [Geo. F. Rosche] was called to the chair of music in the
Seminary of the German Evangelical Synod of North America, located at Elmhurst, Ill. This position gave him an opportunity
for developing his talent in theory and composition of music, which he taught in connection with piano, pipe organ and singing.
He held this position for seven years and resigned in 1884 for the purpose of going into the piano and organ business and
also music publishing, which was to some extent established during the seven years he spent at this seminary" [Biography
of Gospel Song and Hymn Writers
by J. H. Hall, New York, 1914, page 338]. Also, a date of 1864 for 136 and 138 would mean
that they would have been first published when their composer, Charles H. Gabriel, was only eight years old. In 1884, he would
have been twenty-eight years old.
