作词 : Hanson, Zeitlyn 作曲 : Lori Goldston/Jane Hall/Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn/Kyle Hanson Shall I tell a tale of love and of jealousy And of how a mortal found her own destiny Born a maiden of luminous beauty And revealed she was a flower so heavenly But by this admiration I'm doomed you see The smite of a goddess upon me Now I'm sent to wed one of dragon-breed Oh dear Venus I meant no impiety And so the girl was left alone on a mountaintop Until with gentle breath Zephyr she to a palace brought For the fates have dained not Venus's wishes wrought But instead that those famed arrows would share her heart We had happiness there but in secrecy In darkness we loved without need to see But convinced to unveil his identity Great winds, betrayed, flew fast away from me And so she wondered on the land searching far and wide While he lay sequestered by his indignant mother's side She prepared to face the implications of her desire Approached the gates where Habit seized her and made her cry Oh trouble and sorrow please leave me be Has your mistress no heart to bid me clemency I love her most sweetly and fervently 'Tis only of this I am guilty Then the goddess drug her to a disordered heap of seeds Commanding before night the sorting task must be complete The mess of lentils, corn and barley and poppy seeds Did loom impossible to weary and worn Psyche I stand overwhelmed with humility But hark underfoot, earthborn you pity me Oh nimble nurselings rush to my need Dear brothers and sisters of humanity Took each grain by grain Made piles of the same The light of nature came to me Oh Myrmidons oh gentle beasts I asked you not, still you saved me Such diligence grant me this lesson teach Now consciousness have I to keep But not enough this single victory Bid she was impossibilities To collect the golden fleece The waters from the cruellest peak And the beauty of Persephone These three more tasks completed she Afraid she was but never weak Then when cast in Stygian sleep Love flew and roused her from the deep Oh counsel above, oh Jupiter You welcome me into your theatre With this golden goblet of ambrosia I'll cherish the lessons I've learned from the Tower and greenery And the royal bird's great beak The ants who rescued me Yes it takes strength to receive
