So, the master builder, the old architect
Hung up his tools and left
 
His wine half drunk,
Put out his pipe and left
 
Silenced his music,
Read his book incomplete, and left
 
But that he left of 'himSELF':
His valuable impressions,
His art, architecture and monuments
 
The fond memories of his drunkenness
The delightful aroma of his home..his presence
 
The sound of his music
Every moment of his teachings
 
..All aside
 
He left behind
A unique Love
Placed in the heart of his admirers….. his friends
 
We are forever intoxicated with this love
And burn with the sorrow….. the pain of his absence.
