Today is the #4thDayofChristmas otherwise known as #InnocentsDay or #Childermas, so here is an #anonymous #17thCentury #ballad #carol for the day from Good and true, fresh and new #Christmas #carols, 1642.
To be sung to the tune of the Spanish Pavan
It's surprisingly cheerful...

But th is day should also commemorate all those victimized, abused, neglected, and killed by those in power. Holy Innocents, unfortunately, are part of this world’s every waking minute.
