Descent
by Brian Kunde
The wedding day of Orpheus
The last proved for his bride to be.
Her way to Hades, dolorous,
Was hindered by his memory—
Then slumber sundered, rapturous,
By his descending melody.
It caught and brought her near to light,
Till casting back in sudden fright
He lost her to eternity.
