Parse An XML Document?

Here is a snippet of an XML file that I need to read with VB.NET[code]...

I am familiar with creating a new XmlDocument and using the Load method to read the file. I know how to get a collection of child nodes and loop through them to get elements and attributes. But in this case, I need to extract all of the data between the two "verse" tags (the starting one with the "sID" attribute and the ending one with the "eID" attribute), including the tags and the data in between as one continuous string. I can loop on the nodes, but I only get the "w" nodes and one final "#text" node for the period, but I don't know how to get the spaces and punctuation between the "w" tags.
