Niobe's Grief
In Thebes' high halls, where shadows lay,
Niobe's heart, a sorrow's sway.
With eyes so sad, and spirit torn,
She mourns the fate, she can't adorn.
Through whispers soft, and silent tears,
In Niobe's soul, the pain adheres.
With every cry, and every sigh,
In Niobe's heart, the sorrow lies.

In final breath, her truth revealed,
Niobe's heart, forever healed.
With bravery found, and spirit bright,
She faces darkness, with pure light.
Through battles long, and trials vast,
In Niobe's strength, they hold fast.
With every tear, and whispered word,
In Niobe's name, their hope is heard.

With grief's own might and tears' own plea,
In every tale, she seeks the sea.

Niobe's heart, a shadowed sun.
The mourning mother's guiding grace,
In every heart, she finds a place.
