23. Musical score, "Haste Love," for voice and piano. Words by Minnie Gilmore, music by Alfred G. Robyn. Balmer and Weber Music House Company, [c.] 1892.
Patrick Gilmore's daughter, Minnie L. Gilmore, was an author in her own right. Her published works include Songs from the Wings, Pipes from the Prairieland, A Son of Esau, and The Woman Who Stood Between.
One of her verses, from Songs from the Wings, is entitled "To my father--Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore":
Though he is dead, I still may do
Him honor, by a life akin
To that pure life my childhood knew,
His fatherheart within.
And for the true musician's place,
You claimed a throne beside the priest;
Since both, you said, redeemed the base,
And blessed both great and least.
In the song below, her verse was set to music by Alfred George Robyn (1860-1935) a composer of light opera and founder of the Marion English Opera Company in New York.
