Notes About The Poem

Ondine is an awesome play written by Jean Giraudoux

 

Listen to poem:

Not of This World

she was a nymph
from the deepest sea

pure and beautiful
inside and out

as luck would have it
she fell in love

his name Hanz
a mere mortal but it was fate

she gave up 
everything for him

such a rude awakening
to realize he was unworthy

so with her heart broken
she returned to the sea

Something of a Haiku in these simple redolent words. Lovely sad imagery, well described, Line.

So sad, Line, but poignant and beautiful writing.

The play I was inspired by is well worth reading though, it focuses on the main character's charming innocence ~
