- I Come and Stand at Every Door was recorded by Pete Seeger on Columbia album
- "I Can See A New Day".
-
- Here are the liner notes:
-
- The great Turkish national poet, Nazim Kikmet, worte these stirring lines as
- a memorial to Hiroshima (destroyed by the first atomic bomb toward the end of
- World War II). Pete adapated a tune written by a former Harvard student as a
- musical setting for the traditional ballad "The Great Silke" (Child 113)
- Nazim Hikmet's fervent plea for peace begins thus:
-
- I come and stand at every door but none can hear my silent tread
- I knowk and yet remain unseen, for I am dead, for I am dead
-
-
- AS A SIDE ISSUE:
- Does anyone know if Columbia will be reissuing the great Seeger LP's on CD?
- I'd pay serious cash dollars to get "I Can See A New Day" and "Oh Freedom" on
- CD.
