During decades we tried in my family (the family´s women I must say) to put together a song that my grandmother sang. It was one of those terrible songs that she sang from her heart as she married my grandfather without loving him. It is a long story that does not belong to this century. Anyway, we only knew part of the song. And much as we tried to fill the gaps we couldn´t do it. My mother died without learning the whole song. But I tried and tried every now and then to see if someone knew the song or how and who had written it. Today I found it I sent a mail to my sister but I couldn´t just do that. So I called her. She was asleep but as I told her she excused me for calling her so late. The lyrics are by a 19th century poet. It could not have been later. I´ll try to send a picture of my grandmother.
