Ancient Greek songs

Song Cycle by Daniel Ruyneman (1886 - 1963)

1. Fragment of Orestes by Euripides
 (Sung text)

Language: English 
A how I pity thee now,
to madness art thou driven by thy
mother's blood. Nowhere is hapiness
secure for mortal men.
As the swelling sail of a ship art thou flung
heavenwards by a God only to be cast out by
cruel flate into the dark stream of
destruction, of thou unhappy one.
