Thou art not but a siren, Singing thine song. Thou do not but lure the hearts of men, Into thine caltrop of a jaw. Not devouring instantly, But instead thou bides thine time. Thou pleasures before thou feasts. Thou waits until the opportune shade of sundial, When the hearts of men art trustworthy. Thou feeds upon them as if a beast. But dost thou have beauty? But dost thou have charm? But dost thou have wit? This is why thou cannot resist.

The Siren
Thou art not but a siren, Singing thine song. Thou do not but lure the hearts of men, Into thine caltrop of a jaw. Not devouring instantly, But instead thou bides thine time. Thou pleasures before thou feasts. Thou waits until the opportune shade of sundial, When the hearts of men art trustworthy. Thou feeds upon them as if a beast. But dost thou have beauty? But dost thou have charm? But dost thou have wit? This is why thou cannot resist.
