"Send Me No Wine"

I listened to On the Threshold of a Dream this morning and found a number of things to write about, although they're all just small points.

In "Send Me No Wine," the "away" in the line "To send my love away" is sung with a melisma (F# F# D, I think), musically giving a sense of the movement or distance of "send[ing]... away."
