| Notes |
| This poem was written at the time of an anniversary celebration of Alfred the Great. A separate article printed immediately beneath this poem on the same page reads in part: “To-day the programme of the King Alfred Millenary Commemoration was modified in recognition of the mourning for the late President of the United States. The many flags now flying in Winchester were, of course, at half-mast. A muffled peal was rung at noon. A funeral march was played on the organ at morning and evening service in the Cathedral.” |
