Newmarch, Rosa. Songs to a singer and other verses. *$1.25. Lane.
“A small collection of verse, mainly concerned, as its title indicates, with the emotions evolved by another’s singing, and suffers somewhat from the consequent lack of variety.”—N. Y. Times.
“These songs might pass muster, as being well up to the average, if read between staves of music. Considered as poetry, or even verse, they are weak.”

“Miss Rosa Newmarch’s lyrics are very slight and quite unambitious; they flow pleasantly and are free from solecisms and self-conscious oddities. Just why any one of them was written would perhaps be difficult to say, for none show much individuality or depth of feeling.”
