Siren Song

Whilst sailing cross the seas of shame
I heard her calling me by name;
She sang as though a symphony,
So sweetly she did sing to me...

'Twas oh so sweet a Siren Song,
I sailed each treacherous night and longed
To see this she for whom I sailed,
My thoughts, my Siren e'er prevailed...

No, nary hath a Siren seen
A being, such as I, unclean,
And yet this temptress's Siren Song
Sings but for me forever long...
