 Compose a melody for voice that uses the following text:

This is my letter to the World

That never wrote to Me–

The simple News that Nature told–

With tender Majesty


Her Message is committed        

To Hands I cannot see–

For love of Her– Sweet– countrymen–

Judge tenderly– of Me


from “This is my letter to the World” - Emily Dickinson (1862)

    1. Nice work, Seth! The dotted eighth sixteenth rhythm builds unity throughout.

    1. This works well, Darial. For vocal music, the text goes below the staff and the expression markings go above the staff.
