Death of Orpheus by Matt S. Emery
If Gods who rule the realm below,
Grant one more wish to hear my song.
Yet again will weep Pluto, his guile is strong.
With a balled so sweet of divine tempo.
If I fail, my heart in Hades I shall bestow--
My soul I thrust to the tip of his prong.
Like love in hell, my bride does not belong.
Release her I beg, from death’s chateau.
What but melodic cries from the son of Apollo,
Must the dead heed until time comes to end?
I command you Maenads, his notes to follow,
This gentle musician; and silence his song of sorrow.
Allow you must not another note to descend,
However it may seem his plight transcends.
The rhyme scheme of the octave is the standard abba abba; the sestet, however, presented here, is a somewhat unusual variation: bcb bcc.
