XLIII


Surely somehow, in some measure,
  1
There will be joy and fulfilment,—
Cease from this throb of desire,—
Even for Sappho!

Surely some fortunate hour
  5
Phaon will come, and his beauty
Be spent like water to plenish
Need of that beauty!

Where is the breath of Poseidon,
  9
Cool from the sea-floor with evening?
Why are Selene's white horses
So long arriving?
