Sleepy Seas

"Sleepy Seas" was a hit song which was first published 1920 by Private Reginald Stoneham while he managed the Melola Salon music store.

[4][5] Australian audiences found the song lifted their spirits in times of crisis[6] and "Sleepy Seas" achieved astonishing sales.

[11] The song was frequently revived in musical theatre and variety entertainment, more than ten years after publication.

[17] Stoneham founded his own music publishing business and sold copies alongside those of fellow Australian composers.

[20][21][22] While the wind sang a melody tender, as it sways through the palms by the shore, there she drooped in my arms, with her smiles and her charms that I'll worship forever more.
