1. The boy bent over this tomb
Crying for the one buried, who was the beauty of youth.

2. A radiant lad, though fate cut him short,
He passed through life as a shooting star's flash.

3. If knowledge had protected him, his time
Would have come with wondrous proofs of his wisdom.

4. He passed away, so a treasure of morals
Was folded here, under the soil's dust.
