Skreean Nursery Rhyme (from Wingfeather saga) verse 1

A Nursery rhyme put to music by me from the Wingfeather saga! Experiment with your timing.
 3     -34     -4  54       -4
lo, beyond the river Blapp,
 3    -34          3      -3     32         3
the carriage comes the carriage black,
  4        54           5      4       -45          6
with shadowed stede and shadowed tack,
 6      54             -45                54
and shadowed driver driving.
