Lightly they sing who love and are beloved;

And men shall lightly listen; but the heart

Forlorn of hope, that hides its wound in song,

Remembered is through many years and lands.

And I have wept and sung, and I have known

So many hours of sorrow—all for you!

Phaon

What Love remembers little things?—what wave

Withholds itself for sighs of broken reeds?

Sappho
