Levy-Dew
"Levy-Dew", also known as "A New Year Carol" and "Residue", is a British folk song of Welsh origin traditionally sung in New Year celebrations. It is associated with a New Year's Day custom involving sprinkling people with water newly drawn from a well. The song was set to music by Benjamin Britten in 1934. ==Lyrics==
As with any traditional folk song, there are a number of variations. One standard form appeared in Walter de la Mare's ''Tom Tiddler's Ground'' (1931), an anthology of verse for children. His version goes: Benjamin Britten set the De la Mare version of the song to music as "A New Year Carol" in 1934.〔Evans, John. ''Journeying Boy: The Diaries of the Young Benjamin Britten 1928–1938''. London, Faber and Faber (2009): pp. 210-11〕 The text of the song is attested as early as 1849, in form substantially identical to De la Mare's text.
