This is a song that Ives omitted when, in 1920, he began to assemble "twenty-five or thirty songs" for publication—an effort that finally emerged as the massive volume 114 Songs in 1922.

One rarely knows in such cases whether the absence of a song from that volume meant that Ives rejected it as unworthy or simply that he did not recall it or find it in his rather disorganized stack of music.

The poetry of this song (source unknown) is rather conventional Victorian love-song stuff. The singer begs "Lou Jennine" to be his queen—a bad rhyme right there—and says that in that role she has no need of scepter or crown, for all she needs is one slight glance from her eyes to get all her zealous minions to do her bidding.

Unusually for Ives, who was a skillful and talented melodist, the tune of this song is a bit awkward and requires the singers to make high leaps of sixth and even a seventh. A surprising modulation after the song's refrain points forward to the future musical radical, but here seems rather pointless.
