HELP me identify this piece

Does anyone have a clue what this could be?

Music is like making love: either all or nothing. Isaac Stern

Life without music is unthinkable. Music without life is academic. That is why my contact with music is a total embrace.

You just caused my eyesight to deteriorate.

Well umm...it;s pretty chordy at the end, and it's accompanying some instrument, which begins with a V. I think it might be the violin.

Looks 20th century to me.
Bach - Partita No.2
Scriabin - Etude 8/12
Debussy - L'isle Joyeuse
Liszt - Un Sospiro

Goal:
Prokofiev - Toccata

Thal in your age one needs glasses anyway ;D But this is probably rather a vocal piece for I see lyrics below the notes.

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to know? It's evidently a manuscript copy of a 20th-century song, I'd guess by an American composer, but I can't work out enough details to tell you anything with certainty.
Instrumentalists are all wannabe singers. Discuss.
