Sophocles! Sophocles!
The Great Greek Genius
The master of his dramatic art
I wonder if such men as you
...
I'd rather be a child
in mildful mind and might
than be a worrior
who will one fateful day
...
Let me be weak to be strong
Let me be strong to be weak
Too strong for my weakness
For strength sometimes
...
I am a victim
A voracious victim of
This merciless modern psyche
Murdered by morbid modernity
...
Great Greek Genius
Sophocles! Sophocles!
The Great Greek Genius
The master of his dramatic art
I wonder if such men as you
Still litter the earth with such art
That makes the world adore you
I am so sorry
The vibration of this literary lorry
Earths my mystic strength
To make better eulogy of your creative strength
But worry not
Sleep on in the earth and worry not
For forever you shall live
If men still live
