Trees would bend to his sound.
The sharp ends of rocks would be shaved round
The forest's dwellers seemed compelled
By the composing marvel that they beheld
Out at sea he showed it too
The cries of sirens easily subdued
Any doubt was overruled
Son of Thrace as he was known to you
His songs of joy were harshly tried
As the gods took his lover from his side
The grief too deep to ever fade
His perseverance could not be swayed
At their gates he set the bar
And sang the words that portrayed his frail heart
Hades caved and let her go
Rejoice made him break his only rule
