#naiads
Naiads of the Spring Whose dance is hypnotising Fill the air with laughs Naiads of the Spring Sweet and playful, yet so kind Share beauty of rain

Spring
There walks no Daphnis with his mournful song Blinded by the vengeful nymph, whose love was unrequited He does not wander in the hills above this place Playing his pipe and singing of his sadness Aphrodite can punish him no more For he is gone to the quiet land of shadows Taken by Hermes, herald and messenger Of the mightiest of gods, to cross the river Styx His soul guided by his father’s loving hand, to Hades and the final still of time and season. In the quartz sculpted gorge, beneath the waterfall Naiads lithe and languorous once bathed Alabaster skinned, in the crystal brook Auburn ringlet tresses were shaken free When they stepped among the mossy rocks and ferns Their peachy cheeks flushed vital rose Their strawberry ******* raised and glistening Their teasing laughter that once echoed in these dales Through verdant pastures and the bluebelled wood Is heard no more, for they have passed into memory. It is silent now, the Jackals are not howling The threat of Wolves and Lions gone This pastoral world of goatherds pining Is but a world of dust and dreams.

Past Idyll
Can you see? Can you see?! Where the Faye roam free, Where the earth and the sky are one in the night. Can you see, can you see? Where the Faries fly free, And dance in the light of the moon shining bright. Can you hear? Can you hear?! The laughter of the lutes,and the songs of the Stars. As they pull you to their world, too enchanted to run. Can you hear, Can you hear? The songs of the Sirens trying to beguile, And the tunes of the Naiads calling you to drown, Into the depths of the water, of which they both ware the Crown.
