With saddest music all day long	A
She soothed her secret sorrow	B
At night she sighed I fear 'twas wrong	A
Such cheerful words to borrow	B
Dearest a sweeter sadder song	A
I'll sing to thee to morrow	B
	-
I thanked her but I could not say	C
That I was glad to hear it	D
I left the house at break of day	C
And did not venture near it	D
Till time I hoped had worn away	C
Her grief for nought could cheer it	D
	-
My dismal sister Couldst thou know	B
The wretched home thou keepest	D
Thy brother drowned in daily woe	B
Is thankful when thou sleepest	D
For if I laugh however low	B
When thou'rt awake thou weepest	D
	-
I took my sister t'other day	D
Excuse the slang expression	E
To Sadler's Wells to see the play	D
In hopes the new impression	E
Might in her thoughts from grave to gay	D
Effect some slight digression	E
	-
I asked three gay young dogs from town	F
To join us in our folly	G
Whose mirth I thought might serve to drown	F
My sister's melancholy	G
The lively Jones the sportive Brown	F
And Robinson the jolly	G
	-
The maid announced the meal in tones	H
That I myself had taught her	I
Meant to allay my sister's moans	H
Like oil on troubled water	I
I rushed to Jones the lively Jones	H
And begged him to escort her	I
	-
Vainly he strove with ready wit	D
To joke about the weather	I
To ventilate the last 'ON DIT'	D
To quote the price of leather	I
She groaned Here I and Sorrow sit	D
Let us lament together	I
	-
I urged You're wasting time you know	B
Delay will spoil the venison	E
My heart is wasted with my woe	B
There is no rest in Venice on	J
The Bridge of Sighs she quoted low	B
From Byron and from Tennyson	E
	-
I need not tell of soup and fish	K
In solemn silence swallowed	D
The sobs that ushered in each dish	K
And its departure followed	D
Nor yet my suicidal wish	K
To BE the cheese I hollowed	D
	-
Some desperate attempts were made	D
To start a conversation	E
Madam the sportive Brown essayed	D
Which kind of recreation	E
Hunting or fishing have you made	D
Your special occupation	E
	-
Her lips curved downwards instantly	G
As if of india rubber	I
Hounds IN FULL CRY I like said she	G
Oh how I longed to snub her	I
Of fish a whale's the one for me	G
IT IS SO FULL OF BLUBBER	I
	-
The night's performance was King John	J
It's dull she wept and so so	B
Awhile I let her tears flow on	J
She said they soothed her woe so	B
At length the curtain rose upon	J
'Bombastes Furioso '	-
	-
In vain we roared in vain we tried	D
To rouse her into laughter	I
Her pensive glances wandered wide	D
From orchestra to rafter	I
TIER UPON TIER she said and sighed	D
And silence followed after	I
