The Poems of Sappho, by John Myers O'Hara, [1910], at sacred-texts.com
Thus contend the maidens
   In the cretic dance,
 Rosy arms that glisten,
   Eyes that glance;
Cheeks as fair as blossoms,
   Parted lips that glow,
 With their honeyed voices
   Chanting low;
With their plastic bodies
   Swaying to the flute,
 Moving with the music
   Never mute;
Graceful the orchestric
   Figures they unfold,
 While the vesper heaven
   Turns to gold.
