Yet we had thought 'Twas Bacchus who once called this island " home," And blessed our vines ! We thought Methymna saw The harp of Orpheus float to Lesbian shores.
The god's own head washed high upon our sands — And from the dead mouth sounds of music creep And crown our island with its gift of song !
The Lesbians That is the truth !
Shepherds Our Sappho speaks the truth!
Sappho Rail not at wine ! When Athens threatened us, And sentineled our shores, and sail by sail SAPPHO IN LEUCADIA 207 Shut ...off the Sea, and flung our ramparts down And left us huddled close, without defence, And all our cattle died for w^ant of rain.
And drought drove all our people from the hills, And Lesbos had no water, none to lave The dying, none to give unto the sick, And none to mix the waiting lime and sand Whereof to build a wall against the foe — Mark you the tale — ■ 'twas from the sunburnt hills Our fathers tore the abundant grapes, and crushed The precious liquor from them, vat by vat.
And mixed their mortar, and threw up their walls And fought the Athenians back into the Sea !
