Singer
Dunn, Thomas
Notes
Williams, Alfred: Ms / WGS / FSUT: 'Homer was the first poet - to my knowledge - to liken a man to a leaf. No doubt the idea is much older than he; here we see it embodied in a popular song. The piece is old, and was a favourite throughout the Thames valley. Words of Thomas Dunn, Stratton St Margaret.'
