The Poems of Sappho, by John Myers O'Hara, [1910], at sacred-texts.com
Golden pulse grew on the shore,
   Ferns along the hill,
 And the red cliff roses bore
   Bees to drink their fill;
Bees that from the meadows bring
   Wine of melilot,
 Honey-sups on golden wing
   To the garden grot.
But to me, neglected flower,
   Phaon will not see,
 Passion brings no crowning hour,
   Honey nor the bee.
