If I might be permitted to wander today to the hill to watch the scene below. This was a song my great-great aunt Hattie use to sing to me long ago when I was young. And now I am aged and grey - though not quite as aged and grey as she was then - she having been born in 1884 and I now just a year shy of 70. It is hard to explain how many years one person can bridge without having lived them by having known people who did. Even more astonishing was that her mother -my great, great grandmother - with whom I shared a birthday and who turned 100 when I turned 9 said to me that day, "When I was born Abraham Lincoln was president!" So while I usually think of this song in a more sentimental turn of the century style, I always enjoy hearing it in any form.
