So sad to ‘ve the gloom on a sunny day
With the earth shuddering under my feet
For the sage who left fore’er yesterday
To join Gibran and Amin in their ‘treat
He trowed that Time but the breeding of thought
Inherently bred by the human mind
Thereof he weaved threads of glory and wrought
The shroud of knowledge in which he’s confined
Thus him who stood on the platform of Time
Holding in his right hand the flag of flame
For his sapient philosophy and rhyme
Which moved the whole world to applaud his name
Na’my the leading light dashing did seem
In the open space of wisdom to find
The equation of the univ’rse the theme
Of creation which are still in the blind
So he turned over the pages of life
And with the wings of thought to the no end
Yon the stars and byond keeping the strife
To conquer all the more and comprehend
How to climb the slopes of the future heights
There upon penetrate into the core
Of the infinite where the visioned sights
Were his target endeavor to explore
