LyicsWhen we, our wearied limbs to rest,
Sat down by proud Euphrates' stream;
We wept, with doleful thoughts oppress'd,
And Zion was our mournful theme,
And Zion was our mournful theme.
Our harps, that when with joy we sung,
Were wont their tuneful parts to bear;
With silent strings neglected hung,
On willow trees that wither'd there,
On willow trees that wither'd there.
O Salem, our once happy seat,
When I of thee forgetful prove,
Let, then, my trembling hands forget
The speaking strings with art to move,
The speaking strings with art to move.
