To a Girl in a Garden, by Sappho

To a Girl in a Garden

Fragments 121, 123, 122, and 126 combined. O soft and dainty maiden, from afar
I watch you, as amidst the flowers you move,
        And pluck them, singing.   More golden than all gold your tresses are:
Never was harp-note like your voice, my love,
        Your voice sweet-ringing.
