Sappho

XLII

Reading edition

O heart of insatiable longing, What spell, what enchantment allures thee Over the rim of the world With the sails of the sea-going ships?

And when the rose-petals are scattered 5 At dead of still noon on the grass-plot, What means this passionate grief,— This infinite ache of regret?

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
