Hello People! Thank you for your contributions!
I was able to enjoy Mary's and Winston's today, the rest hopefully by tomorrow

So, "October", "Ulysses", "Circe" and "Credo" are PL OK and in the Magic Window.

Winston

I think it's a black cat in its Halloween costume

Now Larry's, Fritz's and Nan's contributions are in the Magic Window marked PL OK!

All brilliant! Thank you!

One more rendition of this poem can be found here

but yes it is surprising that it's not recorded as often as some of the other "most popular poems ever written in English"!

Thank you for the PL.

It looks like I need to improve my search technique. The only "Psalm of Life" I found when I looked was the parody here:
