 But he fell in love with a beautiful lady
 Who walked up above in her mother's green field
 He fell in love with Persephone
 Who was gathering flowers in the light of the sun
 And he took her home to become his queen

 But without her above, not one flower would grow
 So King Hades agreed that for half of each year
 She would stay with him there in his world down below
 But the other half, she could walk in the sun
 And the sun, in turn, burned twice as bright
 Which is where the seasons come from
