This English poet lived from 1844-1881. I think Eldest Daughter sang these lyrics in choir:

We are the music-makers,
We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
We are the movers and shakers
Of the world forever it seems.

Today is also the birthday of children’s author and illustrator Marguerite DeAngeli. In addition to writing The Door in the the Wall, she also illustrated a book of Old Testament stories and a book of favorite hymns. Both of these books are out of print, but it surely would be fun to see them.
