My mother is Earth, and my father is Prometheus; two pointed ears govern me from a hollow belly. In a pitiful fall, my mother divided me.

No couch for me; I care not to be bound. No bed for me, yet my daughters are found. No grave for me, although I love the ground.

Four equal sisters, they skillfully run, competing together while sharing one task. They are close yet never touch, always keeping their distance.

Bound by heavy iron and surrounded by light feathers, I move swiftly through the air. When sent upwards, I return without anyone sending me back.

I have three teeth, all aligned in order, and I have one more tooth that is alone below. A deity possesses me; winds fear me, and waters know me.

Deep water that hides beneath the soil, I cannot emerge without venturing through pierced veins. Painfully do I rise, drawn by the toil of another.
