PagineOthers shall behold the sun
by Sappho
Translated by Bliss Carman (1904) · From Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics, LVII
Others shall behold the sun
Through the long uncounted years,—
Not a maid in after time
Wise as thou!
For the gods have given thee
Their best gift, an equal mind
That can only love, be glad,
And fear not.
