Notes

1. The poem whose words are used as this song's lyrics, "Disappointment - His Appointment," is commonly misattributed to Edith Lillian Young, and the credits of Love Broke Thru reflect this misattribution. However, the poem was actually first published by Laura Sophia Soole in 1893. It originally included a 5th stanza that was omitted when Young republished the poem as her own work, and is not heard in this song. The poem is also sometimes credited to other authors or said to be "anonymous."^[1][2]
