Mal de Mere

On an Island far away,
So the old world legends say,
Sat wicked Sirens all day long,
singing their sweet deceitful song
Mariners came sailing near,
heard that song so soft and clear,
Answered the call that lured them all,
and upon the reef came straight to grief.

-The Siren's Song by Oscar Shaw

He was deaf.
He could not hear.
Their song did not reach.
Yet he came to her.
