Sappho

XXII

Reading edition

Once you lay upon my bosom, While the long blue-silver moonlight Walked the plain, with that pure passion All your own.

Now the moon is gone, the Pleiads 5 Gone, the dead of night is going; Slips the hour, and on my bed I lie alone.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
