Written in the form of a long poem, it was printed in Holland by the American Acousticon and Dictograph Company. The text, rather optimistic and lighthearted, attempts to show the positive in every misfortune: "Bear thus, Oh Deaf, your cross so light / When on this world you roam / As you won't need to carry it / Hereafter, in God's home!" The composer of this poem is Victor Ernst Ketjen (1879-1941). An illustrious personality, this American-Dutch former sea captain was in 1923 co-founder of Acousticon in the Netherlands.
