Bleeding Hearts/Death/Bird's Nest/Dylan Thomas


In Dylan Thomas' autobiographical "A Child's Christmas In Wales" he mentions a couple of songs.

He was born in 1914 so we're talking round about 1920.

"...Auntie Hannah, who had got on to the parsnip wine, sang a song about Bleeding Hearts and Death, and then another in which she said her heart was like a Bird's Nest; and then everybody laughed again; and then I went to bed..."
