Song Of Heart Broken Nymph Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

A song
That rings
Sweet
Into a mourning night.

A heart that broke
A will that bent
A health that went.

The broken hearted nymph
Is you
Is I
Is us
Us humans too.

This night
By the still waters
Sad she stayed
The moon rays above her
Played as she
Mourned:
‘Cruel, cruel life
And cruel destiny’


Her heart that broke
Her will that bent
Her health that went.

The moon mourned too
The night stars wept
The mountains dropped
Some tears.

For
After all
The broken hearted nymph
Is you
Is I
Is us
Us humans too.
