Well I worked through a melodic idea, although the song is not complete, obviously, so I will ask all those who have been following this thread how far should we go? Would you like exercises, or continue specifically with the song? Should we discuss some other element like rhythms? Or have we played out the thread? I leave it to you to decide how much more you would like to do.

Otherwise, we had a second lyric which was actually a poem by Eugene Field. It will go through a similar process, but since it is what I perceive to be more of lullaby based on the words and subject matter, I suspect it will be more adventurous melodically.
