reference to a poem (and later a
song with the same lyrics) called A Lost
Chord, by Adelaide Anne Procter (1825-1864). The poem is about a troubled person who, while idly playing the organ, accidentally
strikes a beautiful
chord which brings calm and quiets her troubles. She searches again for the
chord but can't find it, and thinks that perhaps she will hear it again at
death. Did you ever hear of the Great Amen? Huh? The Great Amen. It just ended everything; everything
quit right at that
moment.
