I really like MMario's notion of thinking of it as a tune...OdsZong! (God's Song). The plaentary methane cycle is only one couple in a far grander scheme of interweaving counterpoints, couplets, triplets, quatrains, dactyls, anapests, trimeters, heptameters, and iambs. Could we see the rhyme scheme complete, what wisom woudl be ours...sigh...that's corny, isn't it, but, ya know, I get corny thinking about God... :D

But more important than the lyrical structure, if I may add the thought, is the TUNE!! Oh, the tune!! A delicate blend of motifs and contra-motifs, accelerandos, andantinos, fugal expositions, drifting cadenzas of myriad cadence, crescendos, diminuendos, martoso mae no troppo, elusive ostinatos, polyphonic plagal cadences and never-ending Amens. What an ear it would give you to understand THAT tune!!

As they used to say on one of my preferred television broadcasts, yeeeHAW!
