You guys might be interested in the various ways the Orpheus myth has been handled in Opera.
how do you like my poem?
"I, Orpheus" In Sheol love lives not
Only desire to love again
And the smell of warm dry air
From out of the darkness
My music sang sweetly
Pleas thus answered
I lead you
Into the Spring
Of our love
I must walk ahead
With you following
At your own pace
Oh ye Gods!
Give me the strength
To trust in your love
And not look back. (2002)
