Folos was running through Elatia Wood
Vigorous fishermen were sailing across Orestiada Lake
Walnut trees was growing faster near Likossoura
Orpheus was dreaming of Spear Festival on Agia Triada

Sappho was reciting moirologia in the Summer afternoon
Behind the Mastic Tree there was Xysta swaying
Crowned students was learning diligently with Pythagoras
Maroula was fighting bravely days and nights

The moon was shining brightly on Dimosari Gorge
Hippocrates was searching for medicine along Navagio Beach
On Xombourgo there was Aphrodite resting
At dawn Cybelle ws already knitting rainbow
