Song in six stanzas; first line: One evening as I walk'd alone, I hear'd a fair maid make her moan.
Ascribed to the Enfield press of John Howe by Philip Gura in "Early nineteenth-century printing in rural Massachusetts: John Howe of Greenwich and Enfield, ca. 1803-45," Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, 1991, v. 101, p. 44-45. Gura suggests an imprint date in the 1830s. It is probable that the song was printed by John's brother Solomon, after the death of their father, Solomon Howe, a Baptist minister, in 1835.
