Hero and Heroine

"Where one man's search must surely cease
The irresistible white fleece
Led Hero in search of the peace
Which she alone could offer

Thus he knelt before her feet
Wary lest their eyes should meet
He knew his life was incomplete
For he had yet to suffer

Crushed and broken in the end
Hero watched his soul ascend
Knowing that he was condemned
To sail all alone to die..."
