Thread Name: Origins: The World is Old (Laurence Housman)
Subject: RE: The World is Old- request info
Searched through my poetry collection and several websites, but couldn't find it . don't know why I thought I recognised it, but I did. I'm in my sixties, so perhaps I've heard your version and it's lingered. I love your phrase 'the song moved in and never left me', it's exactly how I feel, certain songs just decide I should sing them, rather than the other way about, it seems.
