Talk:Over the River and Through the Wood

If my English class did me any good...
If my English class is any good, the correct title is "The New England Boy's Song about Thanksgiving Day" and it's about going to grandfather's house. However, it was later adapted into a Christmas song. I recently had to memorize this poem. Mathnerd314 23:54, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Change it if you want. The book from your english class would be a good reference concerning the name. - Peregrinefisher 06:19, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Song's Lyrics
The lyrics to the song/words of the poem should probably be put onto wikisource and be left out of the article. The Manual of Style suggests that long poems should be kept on wikisource and that this project should contain the article describing it.

The result of the move request was: moved to "Over the River and Through the Wood" and history merged. DrKiernan (talk) 08:09, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Over the River and Through the Woods → Talk:Over the River and through the Wood – A bot seems to have changed the case in the title and restored the plural "s" to "Woods" rather than "Wood", which is correct. "Through" is a preposition and should not be capitalized. The article page was moved correctly; the talk page is incorrect.&mdash;D'Ranged 1 talk 05:37, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Prepositions over four letters long should be capitalized, per MOS:CT. It should be Over the River and Through the Woods Over the River and Through the Wood. Please note that the recent move has left the talk page under a different title as the article; this should also be corrected. Jafeluv (talk) 22:29, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Of more concern is the plural "Woods" versus the singular "Wood". The singular "Wood" is correct. I don't know why the bot changed the location of the talk page.&mdash;D'Ranged 1 talk 04:19, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, right. I've corrected my comment above. As another note, Over the River and Through the Wood and Over the River and Through the Woods will need to be history-merged as it seems the page was moved by copy-paste at some point. Not sure where you get the idea that it was a bot that moved the page, though? Jafeluv (talk) 05:27, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Melody
We are told that the poem was set to music by an unknown person, but we are not told anything about the music. Is it 2/2, 3/4, 4/4 or what? What else can be said about the music of this song? 2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:50A7:B581:550A:769 (talk) 15:40, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
