Metropolis *spooned* me

Leave Crete,

Aphrodite,

and cone to this

sacred place

encircled by apple trees,

fragrant with offered smoke.

 

Here, cold springs

sing softly

amid the branches;

the ground is shady with roses;

from trembling young leaves,

a deep drowsiness pours.

 

In the meadow,

horses are cropping

the wildflowers of spring,

scented fennel

blows on the breeze.

 

In this place,

lady of Cyprus, pour

the nectar that honors you

into our cups,

gold, and raised up for drinking.

 

-Sappho (7th c. B.C.E.)

from The song of Songs

 

song 1: 5-6

 

I am dark, daughters of Jerusalem,

And I am beautiful!

Dark as the tents of Kedar, lavish

As Solomon's tapestries.

 

Do not see me only as dark. The sun

Has stared at me.

 

My brothers were angry with me.

They made me guard the vineyards.

I have not guarded my own.

 

The Shulammite (ca. 3rd c. B.C.E.)
