and your tongue were not concocting some evil to say

but rather you would speak about what is just

you like a goddess
and in your song most of all she rejoiced.
But now she is conspicuous among Lydian women
as sometimes at sunset
the rosyfingered moon
surpasses all the stars. And her light
stretches over salt sea
equally and flowerdeep fields.
And the beautiful dew is poured out
and roses bloom and frail
chervil and flowering sweetclover.
But she goes back and forth remembering
gentle Atthis and in longing
she bites her tender mind

and you cooled my mind that burned with longing
In fact she herself once blamed me
Kyprogeneia
because I prayed
this word:
I want.

Come to me now and loosen me
from blunt agony. Labor
and fill my heart with fire. Stand by me
and be my ally.
Now the Earth with many flowers puts on her spring embroidery
Sappho...gracious your form and your eyes as honey : desire is poured upon your lovely face Aphrodite has honored you exceedingly...
