I've made a certain amount of hay over the fact that you can sing Because I Could Not Stop For Death by Emily Dickinson (indeed, many of her poems) to the tune of The Yellow Rose of Texas, and it's a delightful way to sing it, but I have been remiss in not mentioning more strongly the amazing fact that you can sing Because I Could Not Stop For Death to the tune of The House of the Rising Sun. Just imagine, in your mental jukebox, The Animals, wailing away, singing Emily Dickinson. There's your three good things for the day, or whatever.
