The poem was first published in the Daily Mail in November 1899 it was an immediate success and was recited in music halls to great acclaim. It was soon set to music by Sir Arthur Sullivan and was first performed as a song in November 1899. [Ref : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Absent-Minded_Beggar]
