One of Elgar's best works, based on a romantic poem. The poem was written by his wife-to-be Caroline Alice Roberts and was offered to him at their engagement. In return, he set the poem to music by composing this romantic piece and offered it to her as an engagement present.
Although very short in duration, this music is packed with sweet melodies and is the epitome of romance. Elgar's love for his fiancee really shines through this music.
