Persephone:
Pour the wine and raise a cup
Drink up, brothers, you know how
And spill a drop for Orpheus
Wherever he is now

Some birds sing
When the sun shines bright
Our praise is not for them
But the ones who sing
In the dead of night
We raise our cups to them

Persephone and Eurydice:
Wherever he is wandering
Alone upon the earth
Let all our singing follow him

Persephone:
And bring him comfort

Some flowers bloom
Where the green grass grows
Our praise is not for them
But the ones who bloom
In the bitter snow

Company:
We raise our cups to them

We raise our cups
And drink them up

Persephone:
We raise them high
And drink them dry

Company:
To Orpheus
and all of us

Persephone:
Goodnight, brothers
Goodnight.
