Now stealing stealthily down to the sea
By the path I knew as a child,
I found the fobidden boat hidden
In a place that was dark and wild.
My sleepy pharmacy I’ll slip into the stream.
It is a powerful draught
The dragon drinks, to sleep he sinks
I’m a witch who knows her craft.
Now at last he took me in his arms,
And this is what he said,
“Sail with me, across the wine dark sea,
In my ship as swift as a thought.
By the Lady of Olympus, Hera the Lovely
I’ll marry you like I ought.”
I was so naive, I wanted to believe
I ached indeed with fever !
A man like this a woman would kiss,
And he would never leave her.
What a fool, I was, to loose my cool ,
And to be taken in by lies
A whirling, swirling, girly girl.
The sort I despise.
And now at last, with eyes downcast
The liar spoke the truth.
“Yes it’s true that I swore, but that was before
I had seen the awful proof.”
My life she saved, but her family she betrayed,
Her soul with sin is rife.”
And now at last, with eyes downcast
He was never to say again:
“Sail with me, across the wine dark sea,
In my ship as swift as a thought.
By the Lady of Olympus, Hera the Lovely
I’ll marry you like I ought.”
