In the land of Iraq, which was once known as Uruk
II.ENKIDU Enkidu was not wasteful, nor cruel- nor king.
III. SEDUCTION One day a hunter examined his traps and was curious.
IV. THE CHALLENGE Infatuation wore thin but it was too late.
V. HUMBABA The men took a pause, just a moment to breathe-
VI.DEATH OF ENKIDU When the battle was done, Humbaba's head swung
VII. CONVALESCENCE No longer a king, just a man filled with despair,
VIII. THE VALLEY At last Gilgamesh came to a valley so green
IX. RETURN TO URUK But no one replied and he knew no one would.
He had tried and he'd cried and he'd done all he could. He returned to the city, to Uruk- his home. His head bowed, his heart open- no longer alone. He became one with his people. As they started to sing, He lifted his head and became A true king. 2002 Susan McDonald All Rights Reserved Booking inquiries: mayflyartists@juno.com
