Bliss Carman · Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics

Poem 57 of 100 · Book I

Others shall behold the sun

— ✻ —

Others shall behold the sun
Through the long uncounted years,—
Not a maid in after time
Wise as thou!

For the gods have given thee
Their best gift, an equal mind
That can only love, be glad,
And fear not.
