Notes About The Poem
Calliope Teaching Orpheus, Alexandre-Auguste Hirsch, 1865
Calliope
Calliope the muse
goddess of all that rhymes,
lead me on a pathway
to the garden where sweet
words grow in your bright ray
Calliope the muse,
sister of all music,
song and dance, enchant me,
pick up your lyre and play
in the mystical key.
Calliope the muse
of the beautiful voice,
the mother of sirens;
lover of gods and kings,
your home is asylum.
Calliope the muse,
let your voice be my voice,
together we will charm
stubborn rocks, change the course
of rivers and rejoice.
