Thread Name: Lyr Req: Little Sweetheart in the Spring
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: little sweetheart in the spring
Roud has 7 entries, 2 of which are my 2 above. 4 of the others are of Percy Ling and the other is Walter Pardon and both of these have the first line 'It was one summer's evening when all the world was still' which is presumably the version closely related to those 3 posted at the beginning of the thread.
Hmmmm. The mystery deepens. Similar to the quandary over the origins of 'Merry Ploughboy' 'Scarlet and the Blue'. The origins appear to be lost in the mists of modernity.
