Sol 5.6

  1. An angel has been returned to the abodes of His veil.

    What say you—that he dwells in the dust and rests therein?

  2. His youth did not leave him for annihilation;

    rather, his youth’s journey was toward eternity.

  3. Who can remain humbly resigned when you are driven to grief

    by an appointed death, whose book God Himself has folded shut?

  4. So be patient—patience has ever been that trait of yours

    which brings within reach the reward and recompense of contented acceptance.
