CPDL# 14876: 
- Editor: Kitty Briton (submitted 2007-09-30). Score information: A4, 1 page Copyright: CPDL
- Edition notes:
My guess is that a comma rather than a full stop is needed between the last two lines (before 'sorwe'). In the first half dozen bars the barring is also at odds with the stress of the words: this could be remedied by making the first bar a complete 4/4 bar and changing the time signature to 3/4 for one bar after this passage. - Mick Swithinbank
