Sun/Rising Sun

Revision 1

Lyric

Markings for the first revision are two strikethroughs. No words are inserted, but words are deleted. Creative revision processes are not all created equally: Each revision process of a single lyric follows its own path. This path is not cluttered. In other words, the creator has not marked up the page much.

Rising Sun

Final

Lyric

Diamonds, ovals, and circles are marked on the page. A singular strikethrough inserts a replacement word for two words. This final shows that finals may include revision markings as well as markings of decorative embellishment. Decorative embellishment markings on this final lyric include a crown and ovals.
