Excerpt from A Violet Wreath For them who are faithful and true There lies in a place beyond the skies A garden far hidden from view. And there the dark-eyed houris dwell Whose love is like to wine, And every pleasure the heart may know Of a surety shall be thine. For them who die for the cause of mine Or live in the faith of me, I promise that they for their true worth The Garden of Allah shall see.
