Well, actually the Lyr ADD is in the previous post.

Thanks, both of you. Don't know why my search didn't turn it up.

leeneia, why would you change "'Tis" to "At"? ("yon" to "the" I understand) And shouldn't there be a "-" after "sky" in the first verse (both versions) and after "bestow" in the the second verse (again, both versions)?

I agree that this is a nice set of lyrics; I am surprised it took so long for me to become aware of it.
