Language: English 
Never the nightingale,
   oh my dear,
 Never again the lark
   Thou wilt hear;
Though dusk and the morning still
Tap at thy window-sill,
Though ever love call and call
Thou wilt not hear at all,
 My dear, my dear.

Composition:

    Set to music by Hugo Weisgall (1912 - 1997), "Dirge", op. 1 no. 4, published 1940 [ soprano, piano ], from Four Songs, no. 4
