Gems from the German (Ditson) (trans. by S. W. L.)?
The Ditson publication is sheet music. A "New Publications" notice in the 25 Dec. 1854 Salem Register states that Sarah Lander ("Miss S. W. L., a young lady of this city") translated lyrics for at least three songs in the series -- Franz Otto's "This Is the Lord's Own Day" and "Man Can Not Always Joyful Be," and Lindblad's "Afar." None of these items have been seen.
