Amos: The 'O Westron Wind(e)' predates Shakepeare by centuries. Perhaps the finest poem of the last millenium.

O westron wind


O westron wind when wilt thou blow

That the small rain down can rain?

Christ! that my love were in my arms

And I in my bed again!



It's even prettier in the muddled anglish. Johnny's song is certainly the one Mel is thinking of, and dear to me as my late brother and I used 2 sing it. AND the rest of you are right that he's conflating it with Bob's tune.

cheers from Oak in the Acorn Labryrinth
