Bliss Carman · Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics

Poem 98 of 100 · Book I

I am more tremulous than shaken reeds,

— ✻ —

I am more tremulous than shaken reeds,
And love has made me like the river water.

Thy voice is as the hill-wind over me,
And all my changing heart gives heed, my lover.

Before thy least lost murmur I must sigh,
Or gladden with thee as the sun-path glitters.
