I had trouble finding the tune online and couldn’t easily match the text to a standard meter.)

The tune dates to 1838, so this one is probably correct. http://www.musicofyesterday.com/sheetmusic/I/The_Ivy_Green.php

A pretty little tune with melancholy words… no wonder it came to mind for this poet’s message.

I love this line:
For Mormon creeds are short and bright
And all are summed in this, DO RIGHT.
