Super flumina Babylonis

Anonymous (Psalm 137)

 ● 

Super flumina Babylonis illic sedimus et flevimus,
dum recordaremur tui, Sion.
In salicibus in medio ejus suspendimus organa nostra.

By the streams of Babylon we sat and wept when we remembered Zion. On the willows in its midst we hung up our harps.
