Hidden sea-maiden

Deep down the sea where only he sees Where she lives, under leaves as her own sleeves Cold yet water freeze, got none to please Met in Greece, both fell but nobody agreed. Time flew sea-maiden remained hidden Was forbidden but were heartily ridden Softly glidden, fate literally written Heavenly given, goldenly woven. The man spent decades in search In maiden perches chasing peace purchase A long time ago, same man gave up trying Everyday he's crying, took it as his life calling.
