Storm said, re the album title "Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A
Peasant":

I think it comes from a children's book in which > the child is also always
being admonished not to 'swing her ankles" by her> governess.

FFA said: I gathered that too, on a general level.  I had some vague idea it
was a
direct quote, possibly from "Anne of Green Gables" or something American
[looks towards the Kindred Spirits on the list].

Hmm, I rather thought French or European ....
