- By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down,
- Yea, we wept when we remembered Zion.
- We hanged up our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
- For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song;
- And they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying,
- Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
- How shall we sing the LordΓÇÖs song in a strange land?
-
- from Psalm 137 - King JamesΓÇÖ version of the bible
- (set to music by, amongst others, Gustav Holst in his oratorio BelshazzarΓÇÖs Feast)
