To me it seems that man has the fortune of gods, whoever sits beside you and close, who listens to you sweetly speaking and laughing temptingly. My heart flutters in my breast whenever I quickly glance at you – I can say nothing, my tongue is broken. A delicate fire runs under my skin, my eyes see nothing, my ears roar, cold sweat rushes down me, trembling seizes me, I am greener than grass. To myself I seem needing but little to die. Yet all must be endured, since . . . Translated by...

Come to me from Krete to this holy temple,  here to your sweet apple grove,  altars smoking with  frankincense. Cold water ripples through apple branches, the whole place shadowed in roses,  from the murmuring leaves deep sleep descends. Where horses graze, the meadow blooms spring flowers in the winds breathe softly . . .  * Here, Aphrodite, after gathering . . .  pour into cups nectar lavishly mingled with joys.

You, children, be zealous for the beautiful gifts of the violetlapped Muses and for the clear songloving lyre. But my skin once soft is now taken by old age, my hair turns white from black. And my heart is weighed down and my knees do not lift, that once were light to dance as fawns. I groan for this. But what can I do? A human being without old age is not a possibility. There is the story of Tithonos, loved by Dawn with her arms of roses and she carried him off to the ends of the...

I simply wish to die.  Weeping she left me. and told me this, too: We've suffered terribly, Sappho. I leave you against my will. I answered: Go happily and remember me --  you know how we cared for you. If not, let me remind you * . . . the lovely times we shared. Many crowns of violets,  roses, and crocuses together . . . you put on by my side and many scented wreaths woven from blossoms around your delicate throat.
