Thinking about that quote “if love could have saved you, you would have lived” and Villanelle. i am a mess

Oscar Wilde


A villanelle.

O Singer of Persephone!
   In the dim meadows desolate
Dost thou remember Sicily?

Still through the ivy flits the bee
   Where Amaryllis lies in state;
O singer of Persephone!

Simaetha calls on Hecate
   And hears the wild dogs at the gate;
Dost thou remember Sicily?

Still by the light and laughing sea
   Poor Polypheme bemoans his fate:
O Singer of Persephone!

And still in boyish rivalry
   Young Daphnis challenges his mate:
Dost thou remember Sicily?

Slim Lacon keeps a goat for thee,
   For thee the jocund shepherds wait,
O Singer of Persephone!
Dost thou remember Sicily?
