Hi, folks. Can anyone tell me when the poems Regret and A Hero, by Robert Service, were originally published? I want to use them as lyrics for some songs I've written but want to make sure the copyright is clear. I've done massive searches on the web and I can easily find both poems, but I can't find anything that states when they were first published. Any help would be appreciated. Heck, you might even get a "special thanks to" on the album.
as near as i can tell "regret" was from the volume of poems "songs of a sun lover"published in 1949...."a hero " appeared in "rhymes of a roughneck"published in 1950.don't mention me on the album though please.all the thanks should go to robert service.
Thanks, waukegan. I think the roughneck one was actually 1951, but either way, they aren't public domain, which was the critical info I needed. Much obliged.
