A Ballad for Soprano, Tenor, and Baritone
Solos, Chorus and Orchestra
Conducted by Herbert A. Carruthers.
The words adapted and arranged from Hogg's "Queen's Wake" by J.M.C.

Kilmeny, a beautiful maiden, wanders from her home in the country away into the solitudes of wood, in quest of flowers and fruit, and to listen to the melody of birds. Tired with her ramble, she lies down to rest in a quiet nook, which, proving to be the haunt of the Faeries, she falls under their enchantment, is lulled into a deep sleep, and spirited away to Faery Land. After seven years she begs to be allowed to return to her own country, that she may tell of the glories of the unseen land. Permission is granted, and she returns one day "late, late in the gloamin' Kilmeny cam' hame." Begged to tell where she had been, she recounts some of the wonders she saw there; but after a brief period, she is constrained to return to the "land of thought," and is never again seen on earth.
