thank you Philippa!!! I really appeaciate it.

Animaterra; I have a CD with this recorded by MotherTongue (we only did two verses, but the tune is the same for all); it is called "This Winter's Night" and you can get it from various places I think...

Also, someone recently recorded a version of with an ever-so-slightly different and I think called the song "The Blessing"; the name escapes me but it may have been Connie Dover...? I wrote it down because it was played on A Celtic Sojourn a couple of times...
