Brave and Devoted


 

How did he die? This kid happy and strong.
The centenary olive tree, its shadow was his sphere.
Beautiful and pious who tacitly heard his air.

Ineluctably, respected his exquisite folklore.
Haunted by these painful reminiscences,
The devoted having the desire to elude:

Towards the Kaaba went to solicit clemency.
'God free me from these appalling memories!'
In the hollow of Mount Antar the brave Saint meditated.

Long before the village and the townspeople existed.
The dome bleached by the nobles at all times attractive.
Majestic, solemn, grandiose, decent and valiant.

After another pilgrimage, unfortunately sees herself desiccated!
Her wish by her probe girls faithfully granted:

Close by the young shepherd, under the palm tree would be buried.
This little flutist whom she terribly knew.
