Thread Name: Origins: The World is Old (Laurence Housman)
Subject: RE: The World is Old- request info
Here's the second verse, now that I've got my brackets working- Ahem!

The world is still tonight, the world is still
The snow on vale and hill like wool lies white, like wool lies white,
And so it did, and so, a thousand years ago,
And so will do, my love, when we like will.

I wish I knew how to get the tune online for you, but I don't as yet. Maybe my son can do it (always call on the kids if you need help!)... or Amos, if you have the Ky Christmas CD and you know all about these things...???
