I actually don't remember how it all happened that well. I was writing a lot of songs. But the melody I had learned from Latvian peoples who came as Displaced Persons from Germany &, of course, Latvia in 1940. She had been the wife of the Latvian ambassador to Russia (they came to my first parish in New Lexington, Ohio. The song in its original words & its translation were hauntingly beautiful: Who is crying, what lamenting Sounds so sadly in the night 'Tis the orphan children crying Bound beneath their master's might. I also had learned the first verse in Latvian. But Psalm 137 fit the music well and well, the words came. And for the U.S. in the 1960's it felt right; as well as for South Africa and other places today." --DNAH Archives
