Learning
So what is known
Comes again, in
Another way, shown
And hoped for, lost to
Much, but one may still win
It all through and through.
-Koren Pouel
[This is a very poor translation in my opinion, but is the only one I have found recently. The translator, Erin Maris, choose to retain the rhyme scheme at the expense of the poem. The work says much more than is said here, so if I ever find the literal translation again I will post it up.]
