And Hero waits her love to heed Who swims each night across the sea For just another time she lights Her lamp to guide him through the night.
And calm she waits his task she knows Already's start by habit's hold. But just as Hero wait's she spies The stars now eaten out of skies
Then sudden roar and flash of light Do warn the maid of stormy night. And Hero goes more lamps to light In hopes to aid her lover's sight.
The winds they gall the waves they crash The seas now foam and rains do lash. And hours and hours and light and light She adds but love's no where in sight.
Then waves do calm and seas do deign To once again a calmness feign. And Hero's hurt this thing she knows No mortal man could live through blows
As one the priestess just had seen Her lover's death was thing she deemed. And Hero high on tower falls To rocks below where oceans call.
And many hours Hero laid On rocks to which her life was gave. And just then splashing sure was hear No one alive their heart to stir.
For Lyander high above the rest The gale that night had surely best. And their her body found he laid With only rocks as lover's grave.
Into his arms he priestess swept Where many times she safe was kept. Into the sea Lyander strides Where both their bodies down were lied.
