To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here nor pain nor wrong May come. Their skiffs, far driven Beyond the pathways which to ships belong And by mad lightnings riven, Here, underneath their loved Italian sky.
Together in earth's fairest haven lie.
80 THE TRYST OF ALCAEUS.
'Tis the hour of love, — Linger not, fair maiden.
Sappho, here, above, All the boughs are laden With flowers, for curtains of My poet's home — my Aidden !
Sweet and clear the urn Of thy silver singing, Tears that bless and burn To thy fond one bringing : Love's b...est dreams return, Round his wild heart clinging.
As the grapes from vines Hang thy cluster'd tresses : More than all their wines Are thy fond caresses When the love-light shines O'er life's dark distresses.
Thy throat uttereth Such a balmy breathing As the cedar's breath In the night wind seething, Or that of flowers, their death In new glories sheathing.
8i 1274 — II I Brightly glows thine arm As the beams that tan it ; Lightlier moves thy form Than the airs that fan it ; Beauties rich and warm (Like the ripe pomegranate) Linger round thy mouth, And in dizzy whirls Pass, to where love's drouth Thy soft eyelid furls When the purpled South Spells that conquer hurls.
