A nymph of the woodlands Echo ran
With huntress Dianna
With strength of man
Beautiful creatures
The nymphs were
Attracting Zeus, his heart stirred
Echo had a downfall
In her earthly walk
She had the last word
When she talked
Haughty Hera was Zeus's wife
Jealous women will cause strife
She went looking for her man
But clever Echo had a plan...
She drew the goddess to
Her verbal web
Had the last word to whatever said!
A vengeful god her anger licked
When she found that she was tricked
"You always wanted the last word?
Well, my dear, you
WILL BE HEARD.
*But evermore you'll have a lack
You'll not start conversing...
YOU'LL ANSWER BACK !!!"*
Poor Echo wandered
woodlands fair
In depression and despair
She was deep in love you see
With Narcissus, his great beauty
But she could never talk to him
So she was treated like the wind
Echo with her broken heart
In hills and caves began to haunt
'Til she simply faded away
These places she still haunts today.
As rock and stone she became
Call her, SHE WILL SAY HER NAME.
