Meurthe (department)
Meurthe is a former département of France created in 1790. Its préfecture (capital) was Nancy. It ceased to exist following the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine by Germany in 1871.
General characteristics
The department of Meurthe was created on 4 March 1790, during the French Revolution, out of a part of the former province of Lorraine. It took its name from the Meurthe River flowing through it.
As of 1866, Meurthe had 714 communes. Its area was 6,070 km² (2,344 sq. miles). It was divided into 5 arrondissements: Nancy, Château-Salins, Lunéville, Sarrebourg and Toul.
History
After the French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, the northeastern part of the Meurthe département was annexed to the German Empire by the Treaty of Frankfurt. On 18 May 1871 about one-third of the Meurthe, corresponding approximately to the arrondissements of Château-Salins and Sarrebourg in the northeast of the département, were detached from Meurthe and annexed to the German Department of Lorraine, becoming part of the Reichsland of Alsace-Lorraine.
Meurthe (river)
The Meurthe (French pronunciation: [mœʁt]) is a river in north-eastern France, right tributary to the river Moselle. Its source is in the Vosges mountains, near the Col de la Schlucht in the Vosges département, from where it flows in an overall north-westerly direction. Its name gave rise to the naming of the present French département Meurthe-et-Moselle and the former (before the change in the Franco-German border after the Franco-Prussian war of 1870) département Meurthe.
Channelled during its route through Nancy, the river flows into the Moselle at Pompey on the northern edge of Nancy, a short distance down-stream from the Port of Frouard.

Martha
by: Tom WaitsOperator number please
It´s been so many years
And she´ll remember my old voice
While I fight the tears
Hello, hello there is this Martha ?
This is old Tom Frost
And I am calling long distance
Don´t worry ´bout the cost.....
It´s been 40 years or more
Now Martha please recall
And meet me out for coffee
Were we´ll talk about it all
And those were days of roses
Poetry and prose and Martha
All I had was you !
And all you had was me !
And there was no tomorrow´s
As we packed away our sorrows
And we saved it for a rainy day.....!
And I feel so much older now
And you´re much older too
Oh, how´s the husband and how´s the kids
You know that I got married too.....?!
Oh, lucky that you found someone
To make you feel secure
Oh we were all so young and foolish
Now we are mature.....
And those were days of roses
Poetry and prose and Martha
All I had was you !
And all you had was me !
And there was no tomorrow´s
As we packed away our sorrows
And we saved it for a rainy day.....!
And I was always so impulsive
I guess that I still am !!!
But all that really mattered then
Was that I was a man !
I guess that our being together
Was never meant to be
Oh, but Martha, oh Martha I love you !
Can´t you see.....!!!
And those were days of roses
Poetry and prose and Martha
All I had was you !
And all you had was me !
And there was no tomorrow´s
As we packed away our sorrows
And we saved it for a rainy day.....!
And I remember quiet evenings
