Sappho

XIII

Reading edition

Sleep thou in the bosom Of the tender comrade, While the living water Whispers in the well-run, And the oleanders 5 Glimmer in the moonlight.

Soon, ah, soon the shy birds Will be at their fluting, And the morning planet Rise above the garden; 10 For there is a measure Set to all things mortal.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
