Fragment #111

#111

Up with the roof

Hymenaios
Lift it, carpenters
Hymenaios—
The bridegroom is coming in
Equal to Ares
Hymenaios
Much bigger than a big man

Hymenaios

How will I manage
          Hymenaios,
          How can I cope
He frightens me
                   Hymenaios
                   The wedding hour
Approaches
          I am startled
          Hymenaios
                   I am amazed
                   Astounded
                   Hymenaios
Help me on this night
          A bride I will be for him
          Hymenaios
                   What will
                   Tomorrow
                   Bring, Hymenaois
