“The lyrics of the song
are in many places extremely obscure, and present an unusual mixture of Christian
catechesis, astronomical mnemonics, and what may be pagan comsmology.” So says
Wikipedia about the camp song my brain was playing upon awakening: “Green Grow
the Rushes, O.”
Three, three, the rivals
. . .
One is one and all alone
And evermore shall be
so.
I've never, ever heard this song! We clearly didn't go to the same camps.
