It is a beautiful song, kytrad. Thanks for posting it.

Just for the record, my family has a very specific story, made up by my paternal grandfather to tell my dad as a little boy, which is now being passed down to the fourth generation. I have no doubt it will also be shared with the fifth when it gets here. A handful of people, outside the family, have heard it. When I include it in my dad's oral history book, a few more people may read it, but the written version will obviously not be from the point of its origin.
