Abstract
Typescript prepared by Marion Scott. The title refers to Schubert's song 'Standchen' and the reference in line 8 is to 'Heldenleben', a tone-poem by Richard Strauss. Included in a set entitled 'Memoires of Honour'. Written while Gurney was either at Barnwood House asylum, Gloucester (September-December 1922) or Stone House, Dartford, Kent (the City of London Mental Hospital where Gurney stayed from December 1922 until his death). Included in the Leonard Clark edition of Ivor Gurney's poems of 1973 as well as P.J. Kavanagh's 'Ivor Gurney: Collected Poems' (2004).
