Elgar first set Alice's poem to music for voice and piano in 1897 and it was published in a cultural magazine "The Dome" in 1898, with the title "Love alone will stay". Alice then adapted it for Sea Pictures : she re-ordered the verses, included more allusions to the sea, and it was renamed "In Haven".
