Kupas na ang ‘yong larawan
Ala-ala kong sulyapan
Ang kahapong s’yang tahanan
Anino na lang nang bal’kan.
Dalit is a form of traditional poetry in Tagalog (southern part of Luzon Island, Philippines) with four lines, each with eight syllables. Here's an English translation:
Dalit Poem to a photograph of our old home

Your photograph's faded with thee.
I threw a glance at your mem'ry
The yesterday that was my Home
now just a shadow I reckon.
