Handywrite - The Infinite Shining Heavens

I'm trying to learn Handywrite, which is a phonemic shorthand meant to overcome some of the shortcomings of both Gregg and Pitman.

Transliteration:

The Infinite Shining Heavens
By Robert Louis Stevenson

The infinite shining heavens
Rose and I saw in the night
Uncountable angel stars
Showering sorrow and light.

I saw them distant as heaven,
Dumb and shining and dead,
And the idle stars of the night
Were dearer to me than bread.

Night after night in my sorrow
The stars stood over the sea,
Till lo! I looked in the dusk
And a star had come down to me.

This has been one of my favorite poems ever since I first started learning the song cycle Songs of Travel by Ralph Vaughan Williams. His setting of this poem is simply beautiful (this one sung by Bryn Terfel and this one sung in a higher key by Anthony Rolfe Johnson). I highly recommend checking out the rest of the cycle. It's my favorite English cycle by far.
