Do Not Sing – 3                                                                  BLOGGED Sept 3, 2018

H. W. Bryce

Do not sing this siren’s evil song

Her words do cut like laser sword

Resist, resist, for pity’s sake

 

She will seduce you ’ere too long

If you should dally in her sward

Do not sing this devil’s evil song

 

You do not have to go along

Defy, defy her tempting chord

Resist, resist, for future’s sake

 

You do so know the right from wrong

You do so know how eagles soared

Do not sing this siren’s tempting song

 

You can learn to sing a better song

Do not adopt her as your lord

Resist, resist, for honour’s sake

 

Gird your loin and practise to be strong

Or she will sing upon your wake

Do not sing this siren’s devil song

Resist, resist, for pity’s sake
