The Story Of Narcissus and Echo

The son of God Narcissus was a very handsome man

but proud enough to turn away womans proposing him

he even turned away a woman nymph called Echo

who loved the Narcissus as much as she can

Echo though beautiful had a speech problem then

a curse for her big mouth , now she lay helpless

one day as Narcissus got lost in the woods

all she could is to repeat the words said to her when

ever he called out "Is anyone there?"

Echo used to reply "Here, Here".

upset of not being loved in return

Echo hid herself in a cave

with nothing left except her voice in

A Goddess maiden heard about this somehow

got angry and cursed him to fall in love

with himself - Narcissus

Even as Narcissus was admiring himself in a clear pond

Echo noticed that he fell in love with his reflection

As he vainly said to his face in water "I love you"

Echo replied from the cave and within "I love you"

with whispering thoughts of Narcissus

He stayed admiring himself

in the pond forever

till one day he died and grew as a flower

called Narcissus

Even now in the caves you can hear

Echo senselessly repeating the words of others

you can also feel her vibrations as you near

with echoing your voices further and further
