Not that that may be of much use, but maybe to someone, sometime... :-) ~ Becky in Tucson |

But as far as I know, the author hasn't left any information of what he would like it sung to: I would say sing to whatever you like. |

Rodway (1957), with what I take to be the original tune direction: Music by John Lowry. This Song can also be sung to the air of "The Monks of Old". This would appear to suggest that it was originally published with music. |
