1. Ah, may God watch over the brethren who wrote to me,

    While I was in the darkness of those prisons.

  2. We opened their letter, and there we saw

    Every love and every affection, faithfully preserved.

  3. Their words transported me—if only they had

    Known how deeply their words transported me.

  4. They imprisoned me, saddened me, and said:

    “Let the sorrowful prisoner’s plight endure.”
