What this page covers

Where the songs go in Lamentations

The 10 songs here set 4 of the 4 movements in Lamentations to music: “How Doth the City Sit Solitary” (Lamentations 1–2), “His Compassions Fail Not” (Lamentations 3), “The Gold Has Grown Dim” (Lamentations 4) and “Turn Thou Us Unto Thee” (Lamentations 5). Others take the book as a whole.

How Doth the City Sit Solitary (Lamentations 1–2). Five poems, four of them alphabetical, written by somebody who was there.

The Gold Has Grown Dim (Lamentations 4). The fourth poem sets what was beside what is, and the detail is unbearable.

Turn Thou Us Unto Thee (Lamentations 5). The last poem drops the alphabet, as though the form itself has given out.
