N.B. In reading this Recitation it may be well to remind the performers that the music is not intended as an accompaniment in the ordinary acceptance of that term. The pianist should follow the words exactly as they are printed over the music. At the same time it will be found absolutely necessary for the reciter frequently to wait for and follow the music thereby accentuating and strengthening respective points in the poem.
