[When we our wearied limbs to rest sat down by proud Euphrates Stream]

[_]

The following poem is scored for music in the source text.

When we our wearied limbs to rest sat down by proud Euphrates Stream
We wept, we wept, with doleful thoughts: for Zion was our mournful Theme
Our Harps that when with Joy we sung were wont their tuneful Parts to bear
with silent string neglected hung On Willow Trees that wither'd there.
