Narcissus and Echo

NARCISSUS AND ECHO
His words were mellifluous,
Sweet coated in honey.
His kisses treasured by her
At a stream where they lay.
His image, reflected, echoed
His own love of Echo.
Yet this love was false.
How so? She would not say.
Jealous Juno struck her dumb
For concealing these revelations,
And fairest Echo to stone
Was turned that sorry day.
Thus be never like Narcissus,
Egocentric and just adoring
Only your own image, for
It will drown you one day.
