7. Friend, I am sorry!

```

Friend, I am sorry!

Your beauty-lustre is gone

Because

Earth has possessed you.

Friend, I am sorry!

Your duty-hour is gone

Because

Heaven no more needs you.

Friend, I am sorry!

Your realisation-height is gone

Because

God has discovered a new instrument

to replace you.
