By the Mekong, we bear no qualm.
We renounced the past for a calm
Existence ever so slow
As to preclude us hence to go.

Yet I, placid lulls by the Somme
Recall, retaining in my palm
Her image, my soul to embalm;
Without regret. T’was long ago -
                  By the Mekong.

To ye who here refuge, salaam
Alaikum; preys of time’s pogrom,
You’re hither welcome to forgo
A world that metes out much sorrow;
For sunrise shall your ghost embalm -
                      By the Mekong.
