About this Item

(No place: No publisher, no date). First edition. Broadside poem, 3 1/2 x 5 1/4 inches. Anonymous, but signed in ink "J.S. Dwight" at the bottom. The poem suggests that rest isn't truly possible without hard, meaningful work. From E.P. Gould in The Musical Record of Boston, June 17, 1882: True Rest as published in the Musical Record of April 29, was composed by John Sullivan Dwight, and first appeared in the Christian Register in 1837, then in the first number of The Dial in 1840. The fact of Mr. Dwight s having been a translator of some of Goethe s poems has perhaps led to the ascription in public print, of this, his original poem, to Goethe. I am glad to give facts as authentic, having them in my possession from Mr. Dwight himself. Very scarce, just one copy in OCLC, at Brown University. In Fine condition.
