• Never happy any more!
• Aye, turn the saying o'er and o'er,
• It says but what it said before:
• And the whole hour is sad and/grievous So that the hour feels bruised and sore,
• The leaves are blown The wet leaves blow aslant the floor
• In the rain through the open door.
• No more! never more!
• Not any more!

• Never happy any more!
• 10 Draw the curtain: close Put the light out: shut the door
• Sweep the wet leaves from the floor,
• Even so Just thus God's hand purgeth his floor./ Even so Just thus God's hand shutteth the door
• On me, that was not shut before
• Shall it be opened any more?
• No more! never more!
• Not any more!

• Never happy any more!
• The eyes are weary & give o'er,
• But still the soul weeps as before.
• 20 And shall one's spirit then always must each one deplore
• And shrink Each once, nor bear what others bore?
• This is now, as it was of yore.
• No more! never more!
• Not any more!

• Never happy any more!
• Is it not but a sorry lore
• That says, “Take strength, the worst is o'er”?
• Shall the stars seem as heretofore?
• The day weareth more and more.
• 30 While I was weeping, the day wore.
• No more! never more!!
• Not any more!

• Never happy any more!
• In the cold behind the door
• That was the dial striking four:
• One for the past years, of yore,
• Two for joy & hope gone o'er;
• One for the solemn dark before!
• No more! never more!!
• 40Not any more!

• Never happy any more!
• Though my lips/hands arms be bitter writhen sore
• Though my heart bleed at the core!
• Though my the tears be shaken o'er
• My hair that traileth on the floor
• Though my soul pray evermore—
• Shall it be opened any more?
• No more! never more!
• Not any more!
