There's a Long, Long Trail A-Winding into the Land of My Dreams. Knitting themed illustration by Mabel Lucie Attwell showing a cherubic little girl knitting comforts for the troops. The title (a pun on the length of knitting being created) refers to "There's a Long, Long Trail" - a popular song of World War I. The lyrics were by Stoddard King (1889?1933) and the music by Alonzo "Zo" Elliott, both seniors at Yale.
