| The faithless one shall die in chains | F |

| A prisoner near that prisoner saith | D |
| God willing I will plant some day | G |
| A vine where liest thou in death | D |

| Lo over Abu Midjan's grave | H |
| With purpling fruit a vine tree grows | F |
| Where rots the martyred Christian slave | H |
| Allah and only Allah knows | F |
