1. Truly the bright full moon has set
Its shining teeth illuminated east and west

2. Truly we've lost the exemplar, the knowledge that
Nourished and nurtured us, healing our every ill

3. Truly we've lost our succor and confidant
Who answered when we called in time of need

4. Truly we've lost an ocean of wisdom
That overflowed on us, moist pearls of knowledge
