Sappho Lyrics. LX. When I have departedBliss Carman (18611929)
W
Say but this behind me,
‘Love was all her wisdom,
All her care.
Dared and never faltered,—
Laughed and never doubted
Love would win.
Trample by above her,
She is safe forever
From all harm.
Bitterness nor sorrow,
She has found out all
Of truth at last.’
