Someone got it backwards[edit]

"The poem is in the metre 11 - 11 - 11- 11, and is often sung to the tune of the popular Christmas carol Away in a Manger called Cradle Song." No way. The opposite is true. The Christmas hymn "Away in a manger no crib for a bed" is sometimes sung to the Spillman tune written for the Burns poem, and the tune when it appears in hymnals is named "Afton Water".70.231.227.224 (talk) 21:56, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
