Youth bowed over this tomb,
The boy bent over this tomb
Weeping for one entombed who was the adornment of youth.
Crying for the one buried, who was the beauty of youth.

A youth who shone, but faded too soon,
A radiant lad, though fate cut him short,
So he passed through the world like a meteor’s flash.
He passed through life as a shooting star's flash.

Had learning preserved him, he would have brought his age
If knowledge had protected him, his time
Wondrous proofs drawn from his knowledge.
Would have come with wondrous proofs of his wisdom.

He died, mourned; and here lay hidden
He passed away, so a treasure of morals
A treasure of virtues beneath the earth.
Was folded here, under the soil's dust.
