Worried wan for my wanderer
Cast out with his crew
No father to look after
My child to manhood grew.
Wooed unwillingly by these
Chaos reigned every sight
Busying myself on the tapestry
Undoing it through the night.
The canniest of those heroes
Through which perils strive?
And I in cold Ithaca waiting
Knowing not if he was alive.
Long years have I waited
Decade and more of this life
Odysseus, husband come back
Rescuing another's wife.
With my hopeless waiting
For fidelity pay a price
Lover, soulmate must test me
Observing through disguise.
On the clamourous babble
His righteous anger sway
With blood cleanse out our halls
Till last honor's debt pay.
