Thread Name: Origin: Happy Land
Subject: RE: Help: 'Happy Land' Variations
There is an error in verse two of "There is a Happy Land" (1) in the DT. "We (We'll)" should replace second 'reign' in the last line -

And bright above the sun, We'll reign for aye!
("Franklin Square Song Collection," ed. J. P. McCaskey, 1881 (1898 Harper reprint), p. 99).

And bright above the sun, We reign for aye.
