Sol 5.6

  1. Among the things that grieved me was that, on the day she took her leave,

    separation grieved her as it did me—so we are partners in sorrow.

  2. As though the teardrops falling from our weeping

    upon our shoulders were a scattering of pearls and coral.

  3. Come, tell me of the company who packed up and departed;

    for remembering them is my solace, my repose, and my sweet basil.
