Notes:

Patricia Excell comments that in this re-written version 'the language has been pared down to essentials .... Seven overheated lines of description have been replaced by eleven mainly monosyllabic, heavily stressed words .... All that remains unchanged from the original version are the final lines...' ('Fine-Spun Song' Meanjin 63.1, p.149)
