(ah hear him,

hear him,

hear him,

let him sing!)

… white rose

your wisdom is a simple thing,

and must we grieve who found you very fair?

white rose,

white rose,

beware,

beauty is beauty

but not, not so rare

and not so bountiful

that it may spare

a moment

to revile

Love;

a moment to repent

once Love is fled …

(see spring is gone,

ah wail, ah wail in vain,

for spring is dead,

Love having kissed the mouth,

the mouth

of youth

again!)

Calliope

“And thou thyself, Calliope.”—Sappho.
