*ORPHEUS’ SONG
[Based on Virgl's orginal L atin t ext] What sound is that? What is it I hearThat brings me to a sweet remembering,I’ve heard it once before when I was in the light.\Never here!.Like a thousand birds in sudden flightThese formless shades of hellTurn from the lightIn fear,Others frozen in stone.Hearts that have never knownNether pity nor prayerStand breathlessAnd stare I am Orpheus My song is my magicMy incantation.I have come to take back what was taken from me.And will storm the bowels of hellMy stories to tell.My songs will soften your heart,I will share wth you this one dayThe pleasures and joys you once knewIn the Light,Now.Show me the way! .*The ancient Greeks considered Orpheus to be the first poet whose “songs” had magical power.Orpheus' descent into he;; to bring back Eurydice
