Cyprian, in my dream

by Sappho

Sappho

Cyprian, in my dream
the folds of a purple
kerchief shadowed
your cheeks -- the one
Timas one time sent,
a timid gift, all
the way from Phocaea

    Lost Light
    by Elizabeth Akers Allen
    My heart is chilled and my pulse is slow, But often and often will memory go, Like a blind child lost in a waste of snow, Back to the days when I loved you so - The beautiful long ago.
