Orpheus
The magical power of his lyre
Coaxing stones into dance
His music more beautiful
Than the sirens\' bewitching songs
Gone down the drain of eternity
Exalting in the mysteries of thought
The phantasm of Eurydice
Dancing before his eyes
In tall grass
A fatal bite in her heel
She died
Drawn to Hades
Charon
That ferryman of souls
Could not hold him back
Looking back
She vanished
Dancing Maenads
Dismembered him
But his head
Floats with his lyre
Down the river to the sea
Where it is found
By lovesick youth
Forever refusing
To let love
Cease
