Agreed. To save anyone the task of comparing it with an unfolded version that also fits the poetry to the page, I've attached an example. I hope it's easy to read. BTW, I tweaked the underlay where the rhythm differs in the soprano part. I think the alignment makes it clearer for the other parts. (It's at /wob die/un-ter/lädt im/-ja, nun/.) Cheers, David.
