267/365/Dreamsong

“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.
