Sappho.
I sigh at day-dawn, and I sighWhen the dull day is passing by.
I sigh at evening, and again
I sigh when night brings sleep to men.
82
Than thus for ever mourn and sigh,
And in death's dreamless sleep to be
Unconscious that none weep for me;
Eased from my weight of heaviness,
Forgetful of forgetfulness,
Resting from pain and care and sorrow
Thro' the long night that knows no morrow;
Living unloved, to die unknown,
Unwept, untended and alone.
