Wee Willie Winkie

when I was Very wee there was always one nursery rhme that stuck in my mind that was.

Wee willie Winkie runs through the town,
Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown,
Tapping at the window and crying through the lock,
Are all the children in their beds, it's past eight o"clock?

Written by William Miller ( 1810 - 1872)

Well my blip today taken in the Glasgow necropolis is of William Miller's head stone, unfortunatly according to the Glasgow Graveyard Guide by Jimmy Black ,William Miller, medical student and cabinet maker.
Won immortality by writing the wee winkie lullaby which has put generations of weans to sleep all over the world. His body lies in a rubble strewn un marked grave in tollcross cemetry in the east end of the city. he died in 1872 of a leg ulcer aged 62.
I find that very sad indeed so if you ever visit glasgow stop of and visit williams head stone.
