Have you heard the news of Sappho's garden, / And the Golden Rose of Mitylene, / Which the bending brown-armed rowers lately / Brought from over sea, from lonely Pontus?
In a meadow by the river Halys, / Where some wood-god hath the world in keeping, / On a burning summer noon they found her, / Lovely as a Dryad, and more tender.
