The god of the sun
with a nymph fell in love
she roamed the forests
he belonged with the gods
They met in a pond
he brave, she bold
their hands touched
creating a bond
She fleeted before him
her hands in her lap
a song of surrender
came forth from her heart
the goddess above
with jelaus eyes watched
as the nymph
so fragile, so loving
gave him her life
when the god was away
the goddess came down
with treacherous words
she poisoned the girl
the goddess revenge
was not over, not yet
in an hour
the nymph was a flower
In the nymphs place
a sunflower stood
the forest was quiet
the god had returned
he craddled his lover
so close to his heart
forever doomed
he wanted to die
he caressed with his rays
her yellowy face
she died in the winter
revived in the spring
He rose to his place
among with the gods
her flowery petals
opened at dawn
following his chariot
from her tiny grassland
the goddess was angry
a flower had taken her place
Since then on
the sunflower
follows the god
and the sun so brilliant
caresses her so
