a chorus for Ganymede

I had come across the subject when I gathered material for "Europa". Coming across the name "Ganymede" I remembered that we had discussed a poem by Goethe at school. This aroused my curiosity. But other than Goethe I would not like to wrap (hide?) my topic in some diffuse world-embracing context. Possibly that was viable at Goethe's time when the classical education was spread more widely. Today such topics may seem rather esoteric. Therefore, I'm just telling the myth in my verses whereas the chorus in my opinion should be a hymn to the male beauty (that's what the story is about):

your immortal beauty will always enchant
Gods and the men who dare open their eyes
your youth, your frankness, your grace, and your charm
place love beyond pettiness, morals and lies

After delivering the myth or history in the verses and the timeless hymn in the chorus the bridge might provide some kind of contemporary link.
