So glory weeps for her, anguished and sorrowful.
So glory weeps over it bitterly grieved,
And religion mourns her, and excellence proclaims her death.
And religion mourns it, and virtue laments its loss,

And the highest of knowledge's towering pinnacles has fallen.
And the highest of the pillars of knowledge fell,
And the firmest of forbearance's lofty pinnacles has collapsed.
And the strongest of the bastions of wisdom collapsed.
