Indeed the whole poem strikes me as one of the most perfect things in literature : — ^■^- * 1" reading 6 fi,h yA,p kA\os, Kd\os tSrjv wiXerai. N.P. 4 gee Classical Review, June 1909. 15 Atthis, our Mnesidic^, Dear to you and dear to me, Is in far Sardis dwelling; But her thoughts turn often hither To the life we led together, When you her earthly goddess were, Passing noble, passing fair, Your song all song excelling. Now the Lydian dames beside She's like the Moon at eventide With her rosy fin...gers red Shining when the sun's abed Beside her neighbour fires, And launching light o'er briny sea And eke o'er blossom-broidered lea, While the dew its boon outsheds And pinks and roses lift their heads And gilly-flowers their spires. And often as her way she wanders And on gentle Atthis ponders, With sad longing love opprest Her heart devours her tender breast Till she cries in pain — ' come to me ! ' for you and I Know the burden of her cry. Since Night which hath the myriad ears Sends us word of what she hears Across the severing main.
