a beautiful queen full of pride
who never learned her vanity to hide,
she boasted to visitors across the sand
that she was the most beautiful in the land.
forced to atone for her erroneous slight,
the gods demanded a sacrifice to set it right.
but no ordinary life would they take –
only the queen’s child’s blood would their thirst slake.
upon her death – a ghastly sight –
the gods immortalized her in the night.
wearing the bright north star as a crown,
this foolish queen spends half her time upside down
as a reminder to those both far and near
that the wrath of the gods is something to fear.
