Bliss Carman · Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics

Poem 25 of 100 · Book I

It was summer when I found you

— ✻ —

It was summer when I found you
In the meadow long ago,—
And the golden vetch was growing
By the shore.

Did we falter when love took us
With a gust of great desire?
Does the barley bid the wind wait
In his course?
