The Poems of Sappho, by John Myers O'Hara, [1910], at sacred-texts.com
Less soft a Tyrian robe
   Of texture fine,
 Less delicate a rose
   Than flesh of thine.
Whiter thy breast than snow
   That virgin lies,
 And deeper than the blue
   Of seas thy eyes.
More golden than the fruit
   Of orange trees,
 Thy locks that floating lure
   The satyr breeze.
Less fine of silver string
   An Orphic lyre,
 Less sweet than thy low laugh
   That wakes desire.
