PagineWill not men remember us
by Sappho
Translated by Bliss Carman (1904) · From Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics, XXXVIII
Will not men remember us
In the days to come hereafter,—
Thy warm-coloured loving beauty
And my love for thee?
Thou, the hyacinth that grows
By a quiet-running river;
I, the watery reflection
And the broken gleam.
