[NARRATOR]
From a dense forest of tall, dark, pinewood
Mount Ida rises like an island
Within a hidden cave, nymphs had kept a child
Hermaphroditus, son of Gods, so afraid of their love
As the dawn creeps up the sky
The hunter caught sight of a doe
In desire for conquest
He found himself within a glade he'd not beheld before
[HERMAPHRODITUS, NARRATOR]
Where are you my father?
Then he could go no farther
Give wisdom to your son
Now lost, the boy was guided by the Sun
[NARRATOR]
And as his strength began to fail
He saw a shimmering lake
A shadow in the dark green depths
Disturbed the strange tranquillity
[SALMACIS & NARRATOR, SALMACIS, NARRATOR]
The waters are disturbed
Some creature has been stirred
The naiad Queen Salmacis has been stirred
From a dense forest of tall, dark, pinewood
Mount Ida rises like an island
Within a hidden cave, nymphs had kept a child
Hermaphroditus, son of Gods, so afraid of their love
As the dawn creeps up the sky
The hunter caught sight of a doe
In desire for conquest
He found himself within a glade he'd not beheld before
[HERMAPHRODITUS, NARRATOR]
Where are you my father?
Then he could go no farther
Give wisdom to your son
Now lost, the boy was guided by the Sun
[NARRATOR]
And as his strength began to fail
He saw a shimmering lake
A shadow in the dark green depths
Disturbed the strange tranquillity
[SALMACIS & NARRATOR, SALMACIS, NARRATOR]
The waters are disturbed
Some creature has been stirred
The naiad Queen Salmacis has been stirred
