"The Girl Tenor" Ruby Helder (1890-1938) / Once again (Arthur Sullivan) / Recorded: c.1914 --

I linger round the very spot
Where years ago we met,
And wonder when you quite forgot,
Or if you quite forget,
And tender yearnings rise anew,
For love that used to be,
If you could know that I was true,
And I that you were free.
Ah! Love once again;
Meet me once again,
Old love is waking,
Shall it wake in vain!
Love once again;
Meet me once again,
Old love is waking,
Shall it wake in vain,
Shall it wake in vain

*****************

Helder trained with Charles Santley, who described her voice as a "natural, pure tenor voice of great beauty and power."

The newspaper clipping is from The Tennessean & The Nashville American, Nashville, Tennessee, Sunday, April 20, 1913 (page 31)
