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

    Song
    by Eugene Field
    WHY do the bells of Christmas ring? Why do little children sing? Once a lovely shining star, Seen by shepherds from afar, Gently moved until its light Made a manger's cradle bright.
