i.
Calliope--Beautiful speeched poet,
with golden and silken hair.
The oldest of the all the Nonet -
the most radiant and fair.
Wisdom is your famed trait,
a beauty spelt by lucky fate.
ii.
Oh Clio, the glorious one,
full of knowledge and thought.
Muse of all the histories
and answers we have sought.
The proclaimer I must declare,
your name vibrates in the air.
iii.
Erato the amourous one who,
claims the hearts of many;
a writer of love and truth,
a heart so true and steady.
Forever a martyr of romance,
a true promise of another chance.
iv.
Euterpe the giver of delight,
you write my words of woe.
Then you tell of all the light,
that saved me from the cold.
A lyrical lover, creative and true;
beautiful and strong, a melodic tune.
v.
Melpomene, the tragic muse -
who sings the tears of many.
From heartache to abuse,
the pains and aches of plenty.
The tragic ending to a life,
that once was taken by a knife.
vi.
Polyhymnia a harmonic hymn,
sacred words from God;
the ending of eternal sin,
the true and reckless one.
So here's to the song you sing,
the join and harmony you bring.
vii.
Terpsichore dancing queen,
with a perfect move.
The finest that I've ever seen,
a softly swaying groove.
Beauty in the gentle sway -
a fantastical display.
viii.
Thalia the soft comic,
who gives us a happy glee.
A smile that's overdue,
a laughable melody.
Something good to meke a grin,
to soothe the soul and ruin sin.
ix.
Urania you know of the skies
and all their hidden secrets.
A sight that's hidden in your eyes,
the starlit, celestrial bliss.
The future is written in the stars,
to decide who you really are.
Oh muses divine oh do be mine,
give me something to delcare.
The heart of which is more than fine,
a sincere and earthly flair.
