I'm guessing here since you didn't actually specify your question -
are you asking about the beaming?

The quavers would logically be grouped in four (2.png). That's an
assumption without any of the surrounding musical context of course,
but even with that I would normally expect a group of four since this
belongs to a single word.

If we are in some strange meter and these lyrics are simply there for
phrasing - say, it's actually a violin part playing what is
transcribed from a vocal piece - then *maybe* that could be different.
Still, lyrics pretty much speak for themselves phrasing/beaming-wise..
