Compose a melody for voice that uses the following text:


O well for him who lives at ease 

With garnered gold in wide domain, 

Nor heeds the splashing of the rain, 

The crashing down of forest trees. - 

O well for him who ne'er hath known 

The travail of the hungry years, 

A father grey with grief and tears, 

A mother weeping all alone. - 

But well for him whose feet hath trod 

The weary road of toil and strife,

Yet from the sorrows of his life 

Builds ladders to be nearer God.

from “A Lament” by Oscar Wilde

      Good work, Seth. Ask Mr. F about lyric notation or visit me during office hours.
