1) O Jerusalem, O Jerusalem,
2) You, who stones her prophets,
3) Who eats her prodigal sons-
4) If you had known, even now,
5) How often I have longed
6) To gather your children together
7) As hens take their brood under wing,
8) And you would turn away!
9) Behold, your house is left as a grave,
10) And assuredly I say to you,
11) You shall not see me again,

13) 'Blessed is he that comes
14) In the name of the Lord!'
15) O Jerusalem,
16) If you had known, even now...

This was inspired by Eric Whitacre's "When David Heard", and based on Luke 13:34, which I had gotten confused with Luke 19:42-44. Make sense? Probably not. As for the music, it was intended for the voice, to be sung/chanted at a slow/natural pace.
((6/17/21 UPDATE: For a long time I'd had an attempt at sheet music here in the description, but decided to go with the more accurate version I did with MuseScore, which I'll link to here: Score! I'd linked to a video on my personal Twitter, which I've since deleted, and just now linked to the score on the MS website instead.
