I think of the simpler Bewick and the more ornate NM version together as the 
germ of a short variation set. But they would need some tweaking to fit - the 
NM version is certainly not hexatonic.

     Yes, it would be horribly high in A min unless you were a natural
     light tenor.

   Fair enough. George Welch sings it in B minor -

   and Judy Dinning sings it in A minor.
   As a non-NSP player I had assumed that it would feel more at home on
   the un-keyed notes. Robert Bewick has it in A minor in a setting which
   has high a and omits f.
