Someone, I tell you, in another time will remember us.
SAPPHOSomeone, I tell you, in another time will remember us.
SAPPHODeath must be an evil and the gods agree; for why else would they live for ever?
SAPPHOFrom all the offspring of the earth and heaven love is the most precious.
SAPPHORaise high the roof-beam, carpenters. Like Ares comes the bridegroom, taller far than a tall man.
SAPPHOWhen anger spreads through the breath, guard thy tongue from barking idly.
SAPPHOEros seizes and shakes my very soul like the wind on the mountain shaking ancient oaks.
SAPPHODancing up the full moon Round some fair new altar Trample the soft blossoms of fine grass.
SAPPHOI know not what to do, my mind is divided.
SAPPHONow the Earth with many flowers puts on her spring embroidery.
SAPPHOWhat cannot be said will be wept.
SAPPHOIn gold sandals / dawn like a thief / fell upon me.
SAPPHOHesperus bringing together All that the morning star scattered.
SAPPHOThe Moon and Pleiades have set, Midnight is nigh, The time is passing, passing, yet Alone I lie.
SAPPHOOnce again love drives me on, that loosener of limbs, bittersweet creature against which nothing can be done.
SAPPHOYou may forget but let me tell you this: someone in some future time will think of us.
SAPPHOI do not know what to do, my mind’s in two.
SAPPHO
