Is it the palm the cocoa palm	A
On the Indian Sea by the isles of balm	A
Or is it a ship in the breezeless calm	A
	-
A ship whose keel is of palm beneath	B
Whose ribs of palm have a palm bark sheath	B
And a rudder of palm it steereth with	C
	-
Branches of palm are its spars and rails	D
Fibres of palm are its woven sails	D
And the rope is of palm that idly trails	D
	-
What does the good ship bear so well	E
The cocoa nut with its stony shell	E
And the milky sap of its inner cell	E
	-
What are its jars so smooth and fine	F
But hollowed nuts filled with oil and wine	F
And the cabbage that ripens under the Line	F
	-
Who smokes his nargileh cool and calm	A
The master whose cunning and skill could charm	G
Cargo and ship from the bounteous palm	A
	-
In the cabin he sits on a palm mat soft	H
From a beaker of palm his drink is quaffed	H
And a palm thatch shields from the sun aloft	H
	-
His dress is woven of palmy strands	I
And he holds a palm leaf scroll in his hands	I
Traced with the Prophet's wise commands	I
	-
The turban folded about his head	H
Was daintily wrought of the palm leaf braid	H
And the fan that cools him of palm was made	H
	-
Of threads of palm was the carpet spun	J
Whereon he kneels when the day is done	J
And the foreheads of Islam are bowed as one	J
	-
To him the palm is a gift divine	F
Wherein all uses of man combine	F
House and raiment and food and wine	F
	-
And in the hour of his great release	K
His need of the palm shall only cease	K
With the shroud wherein he lieth in peace	K
	-
'Allah il Allah ' he sings his psalm	L
On the Indian Sea by the isles of balm	A
'Thanks to Allah who gives the palm '	-
