The Opening of Psalm 137

        By the rivers of Babylon,
        there we sat, we sat and cried.
        In the willows of Babylon,
        there we hung our lyres and sighed.

        "Sing!" they said to us,
        "Sing us a song!"
        How can we sing when the road is so long?
        The road to our home.
