| November 07's SPIRITS LIFTED offering
is an old benediction. The source is long
lost and it is attributed to that most famous of authors; Anonymous.
This lovely, little, folk poem is traditional to many English speaking
cultures. The
rhymes have probably undergone alteration many times since it has been
past down through word-of-mouth rather than written lines. I have, no
doubt, done the same because this is quoted from the non-digital banks
of my all-too-human memory. The spirit and the well wishes, however,
remain
unchanged.
