63, Black dream

SAPPHO

(Lobel-Page 63 – Σαπφώ – English translation)


O black dream, [

You haunt when sleep [

Sweet god; a full terrible sorrow [to me

Throughout, separately, to hold – power [

Hope still holds me: that I'll not partake in [

Nothing blessed [

For I would not be thus [

Embellishments [and

Yet might there be for me [

All [
