[PW] Poem by Mrs Felicia Hemans used in radio production of Nicholas Nickleby

[Sylvia Milne]

This is for me and fellow listeners to BBC 7.
Recently, they broadcast a version of Nicholas Nickleby which was introduced 
by a haunting snatch of song.
It began "'Farewell - and no more think of me' and a message-board 
contributer thinks that it is 'Farewell Song' by Mrs Felicia Hemans, written 
about 1829-30.
They couldn't find out anything more, but I of course know people who can!

A BBC 7 host said that the version used for Nicholas Nickleby was recorded 
specially as the theme for the production in 1999 - the performers were 
Melanie Pappenheim and Anne Wood., but he didn't know any more either.
