This looks reasonable, however when i was trying to solve this problem
myself i had problems with unterminated extender line after the last syllabe
in verseOne.
Finally i've overcome this by using \lyricsto and explicitly creating voices
and lyrics.
So i suppose the code below produces what Br. Athanasius wants (can some
expert check this?).
Besides, i think this piece would look much better in a bass clef. It
clearly is written for a low voice; all these extender lines look somewhat
stupid in my opinion.
