Book of Song
The only novel published by Sturgis in the 1890s was "The Folly of Pen Harrington" (1897). He also essayed a sustained piece of verse in "Count Julian: a Spanish Tragedy" (1893), which he followed with "A Book of Song" (1894). Among his poems, three were set to music by Hubert Parry, an old friend from Eton days: "Sleep" ("Beautiful up from the deeps of the solemn sea"), "Through the ivory gate" ("I had a dream last night"), and "Whence".
