Persephone means "she who destroys the light" .......
The daughter of Demeter and Zeus lived first as a grain girl on earth. Hades, her uncle and the ruler of the realm of the dead fell in love with her. After Zeus did not want to forbid nor allow a marriage, Hades kidnapped her and wed her as Persephone in the underworld. Demeter was frantic with pain and anger when she learned about that. She spoke with Zeus, who agreed

On the evening before her return Hades gave her a pomegranate to eat, and so she was carrying three seeds in her stomach when she was ready to leave him. Thus the condition was not met and she was forced to return again to the realm of the dead. Demeter however sent a drought to the earth in order to force the Gods to release Persephone.

Persephone remained from there on one third of the year in the underworld with her husband, whereas the remainder of the time she spent with her mother in the world of the undead. This mythos explains the change of seasons and symbolizes the change of life and death. For the time she remains in the underworld, nature dies. Upon her arrival from the darkness of Hades she brings spring along with her and nature is happy about her return and is reborn in order to bring forth new fruits.
Persephone - Lullaby
Don`t be afraid
I`ll hold you tight
I won`t go away
Until you fall asleep
Sleep well, sleep tight
Nothing can harm you
A lullaby of tears uncried, I`ll sing for you
Sleep well, sleep tight
You cradle in my arms
Your heart full of pain
None can hurt you anymore
Your soul will cease
I stroke your hair
You won`t be alone
You`re going to a better place
Where joy and happiness reigns
When you fall asleep
Sleep well, sleep tight
Nothing can harm you
A lullaby of dreams undreamed, I`ll sing for you
Sleep well, sleep tight
Close your eyes
Iґll cover you with flowers
Lilies, jasmin, roses
Will be the guardians of your dreams
Until you lie below the ground
I wish I could go with you
I don`t know you but still we`re so close
There are feelings, I thought long-forgotten
I found you but now you`re gone
But soon I`ll follow you
When I`ll fall asleep....
