May the rain water the earth that holds you and the ground
The rain watered a land that embraces you
of your grave; in it lie the rain, the lion, and the full moon.
And an open space for your grave, where rain, people and the full moon frequent

Yet it is not worthy, since it afflicted you with decay,
It is not fit for people, since decay has touched you
of watering—but the one whom that grave holds is.
Not for irrigation, but for who that grave contains
