Love alone will stay
"Love alone will stay" is a poem by Caroline Alice Elgar, set to music for voice and piano by her husband, the English composer Edward Elgar, in 1897.
The song was first published in the cultural magazine The Dome – "a Quarterly containing Examples of All the Arts". It is artistically scripted in Elgar's own hand, and signed and dated “12.IX.97.”
Elgar later included a revised version of the poem as the second song, renamed "In Haven", in his song-cycle for voice and orchestra "Sea Pictures".
