Draft 6
In draft 6 I managed to finish the melody in verse 2. Similar to verse 1, there are two significant examples of word painting. The first is an ascending crotchet run in bars 15-16 which conveys the lyrics 'Far in the sun-rise land'. The second example is found in bars 18-19, where the lyrics 'Silent longing' are illustrated by a descending quaver run which puts emphasis on the longer semi-breve which portrays the long longing felt by the tree and the overwhelming desire.
