ОглавлениеIs the day long,
O Lesbian maiden,
And the night endless
In thy lone chamber
In Mitylene? 5
All the bright day,
Until welcome evening
When the stars kindle
Over the harbour,
What tasks employ thee? 10
Passing the fountain
At golden sundown,
One of the home-going
Traffickers, hast thou
Thought of thy lover? 15
Nay, but how far
Too brief will the night be,
When I returning
To the dear portal
Hear my own heart beat! 20
