1. Visit a soil to say thunder has rained
The rain of contentment has watered it and tears have irrigated it as they poured

2. A young man whose death made literature weep
With sorrow, and piety lamented for him afterwards with regret

3. He passed away on the twenty sixth
Leaving us with grief that does not pass

4. So his chronicler etched above his tomb
And a branch of sweet basil broke off in the morning breeze
