"Joanna" - By Henry Livingston (1787) - "Come Haste to the Wedding" - a poem on Henry's sister's 33rd birthday. Poem and music from Henry's manuscripts. I always liked this one. There's a gentle love with which he envelops his whole family.
“The ruddy cheek, the smiling morning face,
denote a healthy, undegenerate race.”
Probably could not get by with that line today.
I thought Kool and the Gang sang Joanna.
I thought about that.
