The time has come Persephone, to Hades Realm return, fulfill The words you did avow Leave Demeter To mourn for now How Hades cruel Did vent his lust And steal you from Your hearth, and Demeter in sorrow Cursed "The Earth Shall bear no gifts Til she,to me returns." Until that day When Hades stole The Earth bore fruit Year round, and now Six months the Earth does sleep While you beneath Are bound. For Zeus his Brothers' Side did take and Godlike did decree Six months with Demeter reside Six months in Hades you abide. And so it was The Seasons came to be.
