Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHCI HJKLH| The men who greeted our forefathers | A |
| And plundered the treasures of the black soil are here again | B |
| Those men who bound the men of our land | C |
| In fetters to till the strange lands | D |
| And took our maidens to warm their beds have come back | E |
