Orpheus and Eurydice


lyre , small harp

beautiful music he plays

beautiful woman to whom he loves

Bitten by a snake forever gone

mournful blues , sad for days

Travels to Hades to reclaim his wife.

Plays beautiful music but there is a price.

She will follow you , but don't look back.

Anxious to see her , no footsteps to hear.

Overcome with passion , he looks back.

She screams "Farewall" and is gone.

Sad once again, overcome with greif.

Patiently waiting  to be reunited again
