Love in Absence (1909) by Joseph F. Lamb with lyrics by Mary A. O'Reilly.

Another not so well-known early work by one of three "Kings of Ragtime," with the lyrics (or "poem/words" as detailed on the original sheet) completed by Mary A. O'Reilly. Mary is said to have been an old school friend of Lamb's mother during their time in Ireland and later became a local poetess in the United States. (According to Russel E. Cassidy, one of the former editors of "The Ragtime Review" who befriended Lamb a few years prior to his death.)

Apart from his 12 rags under the Stark Music Co., Lamb was a prolific composer well throughout his entire life, going as far back as 1901!

TRANSCRIPTION NOTES: Directly transcribed from original sheet notation (piano part only, no vocals. Additionally, I was unable to include the final rest within the last measure as MuseScore Studio crashes & force closes upon my attempts to do so.)
