Fritz Kreisler wrote the short piece for violin titled "The Old Refrain." Alice Mattulath arranged some of his work (Cradle Song, based on Kreisler's Caprice Chinois), and may have written or helped with the words- can't find definite indication.

Fritz Kreisler- 1875-1962. Born Vienna. Probably the best loved of all 20th century classical violinists. He had a habit of calling some of his compositions traditional, but later admitted that they were his own. Became U. S. citizen in 1943. His compositions were all melodic, and were hummed by everyone who heard them. Different training, and he would have been a great musical show composer.
