And water outpoured;

And fruit in abundance, neither bitter nor forbidden;

* * * * * * * * * *

And God will guard them from the evil of that day and will cast on them brightness and joy;

And their reward for their patience shall be Paradise and silk!

Reclining thereon upon couches, they shall neither see therein the sun nor piercing cold;

And close down upon them shall be its shadows;

And lowered over them its fruits to cull;

And they shall be served round with vessels of silver and goblets that are as flagons—

Flagons of silver shall they mete out!...
