About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox volunteers bring you 11 recordings of Woodman, Spare that Tree! by George Pope Morris. This was the Weekly Poetry project for April 16, 2017. Read in English by Angi Bridges; Amelia Chesley; Bruce Kachuk; David Lawrence; Garth Burton; KyoBlanchett; Michael Fassio; Nemo; Scotty Smith; Tomas Peter and tovarisch. George Pope Morris was an American editor, poet, and songwriter. In addition to his publishing and editorial work, Morris was popular as a poet and songwriter; especially well-known was his poem-turned-song "Woodman, Spare that Tree!" His songs in particular were popular enough that Graham's Magazine in Philadelphia promised Morris $50, sight unseen, for any work he wanted to publish in the periodical. "Woodman, Spare that Tree!" was first published in the January 17, 1837, issue of the Mirror under the title "The Oak" and was that year set to music by Henry Russell before being reprinted under its more common title in 1853.
