Sometimes I am just so glad that written music is a closed book to me.

Setting poems to known tunes was a sort of Victorian parlour game, and I think there is a word in Welsh for the doing of it.

If anyone has difficulty I would suggest finding a known tune that the words will go to, sing it a few times to that and then consider similar sized tunes that might fit - sing those through a few times - then next day look at the words again and with any luck a tune unique to them will have been worked on by your subconscious overnight - if you have a talent for it you might have been humming it over the bathroom sink.
