Editor: Julian Bryson (submitted 2005-10-01). Score information: Letter, 6 pagesCopyright: Personal

Edition notes: I have inserted various time signatures to help emphasize proper word stresses. As this work was written before the invention of barlines, I believe that it flows much better when barlines are placed according to proper pronunciation rather than forcing the text into arbitrary meters.
