The story behind the song

This song paints a poignant picture of childhood innocence and the simple, yet profound, world of imagination. It evokes a feeling of wistful nostalgia, perhaps for a time when life's concerns were as small as the toys being sold. Playing this song feels like stepping into a gentle, almost melancholic, memory.

sowed it wide with peppercorn and furrowed with a bramble thorn.

the miller told your father that he'd worked it with the greatest will.
