Enjoyable post Dan. It is interesting how the rhymes sing in both languages. I was reading somewhere recently that modern poetry is written to how it appears on paper and not how it flows from the tongue.
Thanks Dave. Fascinating to explore the differences between verbal and written (or non-verbal) communication, which could present the poem (or in this case, song), in very different ways.
