Boy the winkling willow glade

The story:

I just finally heard it right. Of course, the clues in the song helped, and getting older and becoming aware of the Big Band sound and then associating Glenn Miller with it, then realizing that Edith and Archie were probably young during WWII, and so on. Of course, I did look up the word 'winkling' (it means to pry something out of a fixed position - I thought it was like twinkling, only more with the way sun filters through wind-blown leaves, hence the willow-glade) because of this song. And once I found out what 'winkling' meant, all else followed.
