A year or two ago, while driving, I started 'composing' what I thought might be a good Christmas song. The words going through my mind were something like "In the cold of winter, love is born again...". Upon doing a bit of research, I realized that I was humming and singing (with a bit of the "folk process" involved) the UU Hymnal's version of Christina Rosetti's carol "In The Bleak Midwinter!" (No wonder I thought it was a great tune!)

It never hurts to run it by other people to see if someone recognizes the melody.

Did you know, BTW, that the first four notes of "The Merry Widow Waltz" are the same as "How Dry I Am"? (I learned that from a book by, I think, Leonard Bernstein.)
