Thisbe And Pyramus Poem by Ima Ryma
Thisbe And Pyramus
Thisbe and Pyramus did be
Young lovers who were kept apart.
Through a wall did plan she and he
A secret meeting of the heart.
Thisbe arrives first but from fear
Does run away, leaving her cloak
Which, when Pyramus does appear,
Seems to show Thisbe's blood in soak.
Thinking her dead, Pyramus grabs
His sword and plunges in his chest.
Thisbe then finds him dead and stabs
The sword into her, both now rest.
The wall between them now is gone.
Thisbe and Pyramus love on.
This poem though is different from laila and majnu love
From Ovid and Shakespeare to Vondel and Gorter, the tragic love story of Pyramus and Thisbe has influenced many writers over the centuries. This story has roots in Greek mythology and it was told by Ovid in his Metamorphoses. Great story poem
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
