praying for help soon to arrive
a poet opens up his wings
thunders of truth and valour brings
Pegasus glides along the sky
and brings the Poet nearby
The Greeks observe the godly course
and fall in love with such a force
Behold the Poet’s strength and might
the ancient art comes back to light
War Songs again the world will hear
which help the soldiers have no fear
(Theodore Liolios)
