Who will grieve for this woman? Does she not seem
Translated by Tanya Karshtedt (1996) | A loss, but who still mourns the breath
of one woman, or laments one wife?
Though my heart never can forget,
how, for one look, she gave up her life. | Translated by A.S.Kline | Who would waste tears upon her? Is she not
The least of our losses, this unhappy wife?
Yet in my heart she will not be forgot
Who, for a single glance, gave up her life. | Translator unknown
