Silver Threads Among the Gold 2nd in 1904

Music written by: H.P. Danks
Lyrics written by: Eben E. Rexford
Copyright date: 1873
Language: English
ISWC: T-932.813.002-5 ISWC
Comments: As a young man, Rexford wrote poems and stories to support himself while a college student. Danks contacted Rexford and asked him for some song lyric, agreeing to pay $3.00 for each lyric used. Rexford provided nine sets of lyrics, including "Silver Threads Among the Gold", which was apparently revised from a poem he had written circa 1866. Danks ultimately sent Rexford a check for $18.00, implying that he accepted six of the nine sets of lyrics, but provided no specification as to which lyrics he was purchasing. The song became extremely popular, selling two million copies as sheet music beginning in 1873 and another one million copies, when the song was revived in 1907.

They also wrote a companion song, When Silver Threads Are Gold Again.
