original things we re member to have read we shall begin with a few of lhsse prefaces donald mdunaui i place this song first not on account of any intrinsic merit that it possesses for there it ranks rather low but merely because it was my first song and exceedingly popular when it appeared i wrote it when a barefooted lad nerd log lambs on tho blackhouso heights in utter indignation at the threat
