AN Wasserflüssen Babylon
da sassen wir mit schmertzen
Als wir gedachten an Zion
da weinten wir von hertzen
Wir hiengen auff mit schwerem muth
die Orgel vnd die harffen gut
an jre Beum der weiden
Die drinnen sind in jhrem Land
da musten wir viel schmach vnd schand
teglich von jhnen leiden.
English translation
(Coverdale, 1535)
At the ryvers of Babilon,
There sat we downe ryght hevely;
Even whan we thought upon Sion,
We wepte together sorofully.
For we were in soch hevynes,
That we forgat al our merynes,
And lefte of all oure sporte and playe:
On the willye trees that were thereby
We hanged up oure harpes truly,
And morned sore both nyght and daye.
