Dear Mendelyaner,

a friend of mine is looking for Yiddish literature connected to Psalm 
137.She wants to write her Magisterarbeit / Thesis on that and is 
currently searching for Yiddish literature that includes/uses/ these 
themes:

- an instrument in a tree (might be a harp or a violin, in a willow)

- sitting by the waters, weeping=85

Here is what she already found:
