Echo and Narcissus
Do not forget the lessons of our love,
if I had voice to speak, I'd speak their tale:
one could not love and one could nothing but.
Their fates were fastened like a lover's knot,
sweet Narcissus and echo now so frail.
Do not forget the lessons of our love.
She lost her voice for words can only cut
and hers had rained on Gods like autumn hail.
One could not love and one could nothing, but
she saw him once and seeing not enough
she had to look and learn his full detail.
Do not forget the lessons of our love.
They met at last but peacock's eyes are shut,
they do not see the beauty through the veil.
One could not love and one could nothing but.
So she was lost in grief, her body dust
and only echoes of her words regale.
Do not forget the lessons of our love.
He did not love but was assailed by lust
when next he found his image in the pail;
one could not love and one could nothing but.
You are still young and eyes are quickly shut
but read this copy with your hands like braille;
do not forget the lessons of our love,
one could not love and one could nothing but.
