as by the streams of babylon - thomas campion lyrics

Loading...

as by the streames of babilon
farre from our natiue soyle we sat
sweet sion thee we thought vpon
and eu’ry thought a teare begat

aloft the trees, that spring vp there
our silent harps wee pensiue hung :
said they that captiu’d vs, let’s heare
some song, which you in sion sung

is then the song of our god fit
to be prophaned in forraine land ?
o salem, thee when i forget
forget his sk!ll may my right hand !
fast to the roofe cleaue may my tongue
if mindelesse i of thee be found :
or if, when all my ioyеs are sung
ierusalem bе not the ground

remember, lord, how edoms race
cryed in ierusalems sad day
hurle downe her wals, her towres deface
and, stone and by stone, all leuell lay

curst babels seede ! for salems sake
iust ruine yet for thee remaines !
blest shall they be thy babes that take
and ‘gainst the stones dash out their braines
