Bliss Carman · Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics

Poem 10 of 100 · Book I

Let there be garlands, Dica,

— ✻ —

Let there be garlands, Dica,
Around thy lovely hair.
And supple sprays of blossom
Twined by thy soft hands.

Whoso is crowned with flowers
Has favour with the gods,
Who have no kindly eyes
For the ungarlanded.
