Hi, Roger—

Yes, this poem looked much easier than it turned out to be. The subjunctives and infinitives (Four in the last three lines!) are tricky to render into English without piling up a lot of repeated modal/auxiliary verbs (“let, “ “may,” “should”) and the particle, “to.” I made a few changes which I hope make he rhythm smoother and clarify what belongs to whom. Good advice to keep the music a priority. Thanks for your guidance.

Glenn
