About the Song
lyrics by Helen H. Miller, 1920. Miller and Sallie Douglas met at a YWCA conference at the Silver Bay Association at Lake George in New York’s Adirondacks. This song, inspired by Alfred Tennyson’s poem Merlin and the Gleam, about the quest for the Holy Grail, came out of their meeting. It won the 1920 Silver Bay Prize at Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania.
