On the tune called The Old-hundred-and-fourth Annotated

We never sang together
&nbsp Ravenscroft’s terse old tune
On Sundays or on weekdays,
In sharp or summer weather,
&nbsp At night-time or at noon.

Why did we never sing it,
&nbsp Why never so incline
On Sundays or on weekdays,
Even when soft wafts would wing it
&nbsp From your far floor to mine?

Shall we that tune, then, never
&nbsp Stand voicing side by side
On Sundays or on weekdays? . . .
Or shall we, when for ever
&nbsp In Sheol we abide,

Sing it in desolation,
&nbsp As we might long have done
On Sundays or on weekdays
With love and exultation
&nbsp Before our sands had run?
