This simple

And now let us turn, at last, to simple speech.

Simply, we turn to speech, and it lets us.

To speak, simply turn and let us at last begin.

Let us begin to speak, turning simply now over and over.

Speech, over and over, simply turning us away now.

Now, simply, over and over, turns us away. To speak of this. At last.
