The Poems of Sappho, by John Myers O'Hara, [1910], at sacred-texts.com
Hesperus shines
   Low on the eastern wave,
 Off toward the Asian shore;
Over faint lines
   Whose grays and purples pave
 Where seas night-calmed adore.
Fair vesper fire,
   Fairest of stars, the light
 Benign of secret bliss
Star of desire,
   Bringing to me with night
 Dreams and my Phaon's kiss.
