1. You were a drinker in the gathering you graced,
Alas for the gathering you abandoned!

2. You made our gathering flourish with your mention,
Yet went and sat with others, giving life to them.

3. So your mention is a boon companion to us
While your person, you have made a companion to others.

4. May our day delight in your sweet mention!
And may he gain intimacy with you, whom you joined!
