The Poems of Sappho ยท 1 passage
Hesperus shines Low on the eastern wave, Off toward the Asian shore; Over faint lines Whose grays and purples pave Where seas night-calmed adore. Fair vesper fire, Fairest of stars, the light Benign of secret bliss Star of desire, Bringing to me with night Dreams and my Phaon's kiss.
