The Odyssey: Book Five

To Calypso's isle comes Hermes with orders from Zeus:
Odysseus is to go home, the nymph must set him loose
Calypso's disappointed, for she'd like to keep him there
Even though he spends his days just weeping in despair
She tells him "if you want to leave, I'll help you build a raft
Though to prefer Penelope to me, you must be daft."
"In terms of beauty" he replies "I'm sure that you are right.
But still, I would like to go home, although I'll sleep with you tonight."
He sails for eighteen days until he's just in sight of shore
And then Poseidon sends a storm that blows away his oar!
It seems that he will drown or else be dashed against the granite
cliffs, til Ino visits him in the form of a gannet.
She bids him to strip off his clothes and gives a veil to him
then says he should get off the raft, and to the shore must swim.
He drifts at sea for two whole days, and doesn't feel too good
He finally makes landfall, then he lies down in a wood.
