Sirens of Sicily

11/9/2004 On a flowery island of Sicily There lived four sirens Aglaophonos, Thelxepeia, Peisino and Molpe Their eyes were bright like stars in the sky Their hair was dark and silky They had wings so wide But they were not allowed to leave the island Years and years The sisters grew Their beauty was never seen. Sadly, the sisters sang their songs Waiting for men to hear Their voices were enchanting Musically pouring out their sorrows Heavenly telling their desire Years and years Sailors dived into the sea But could never make to the shore From near and far Women were afraid of losing their men Men were curious, but also scared to death The sad sisters were still waiting For men to reach their land Years and years Braves couldn’t pass The Sirens continued their singing
