Be to her, Persephone,
All the things I might not be;
Take her head upon your knee. / She that was so proud and wild, / Flippant, arrogant and free, / She that had no need of me, / Is a little lonely child / Lost in Hell, -- Persephone, / Take her head upon your knee; / Say to her, "My dear, my dear, / It is not so dreadful here."
