George M. (George Morley) Vickers

Born on January 8, 1841, George Morley Vickers was an American writer remembered for poetry, song lyrics, and light musical work published in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Reference catalogs list him as both George M. Vickers and George Morley Vickers, and date his life from 1841 to 1908.

His surviving work shows a writer active across both poetry and music publishing. He is associated with Ballads of the Occident and with lyrics for songs such as Bye-Bye Till We Meet Again and Drifting Seaward, suggesting a career that moved easily between literary writing and popular sheet-music culture.

Vickers died on February 19, 1908. Although detailed biographical records appear limited, the publications connected with his name give a clear sense of a versatile Victorian-era author whose writing was meant to be read aloud, sung, and enjoyed by a broad audience.
