The Fall for Arethusa

She sits there idly by the spring.

She sits there tending to her things

Of godly Genesis it seems

That holds her eyes from eyeing me.

I must confess I am a fool

To look upon the ocean's daughter

And think I could forsake the rule

And live to love and wed the water.

I am a fool undoubtedly,

Beguiled by the raging sea.

The water never could a lover be,

But foolish still I want to be.
