Over the river and through the woods
To grandmother's house we go.
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Though the bright and drifting snow . . . .

Across the river and into the trees--supposedly the last words of
General Stonewall Jackson

Also name of minor novel of Hemingway--very poorly receive by the
critics in 1950 but some love it.
