Does anyone know this tune? This was introduced into Japan in 1889 in a Japanese schoolsong book with newly written Japanese lyrics as "Ryohaku" (Loneliness on a Journey), and later with another set of lyrics as "Toodai-mori" (The Lighthouse Keeper). I believe the Japanese words have nothing in common with the original. The tune has been said to be "English melody," but I can't identify it. Any info (on the tune, title, original words, composer, or sources) will be appreciated.

If you are not familar with ABC, use an ABC to staff notation converter (ABC Convert-A-Matic converts it to MIDI too).
