The Poems of Sappho, by John Myers O'Hara, [1910], at sacred-texts.com
I do not think with my two arms to touch the sky,
   I do not dream to do almighty things;
 So small a singing bird may never soar so high,
   To beat the sapphire fire with baffled wings.
I do not think with my two arms to touch the sky,
   I do not dream by any chance to share
 With deathless Gods the bliss of Paphos they deny
   To men behind the azure veil of air.
