Sappho: LX

When I have departed,
Say but this behind me,
“Love was all her wisdom,
All her care.

“Well she kept love’s secret,—
Dared and never faltered,—
Laughed and never doubted
Love would win.

“Let the world’s rough triumph
Trample by above her,
She is safe forever
From all harm.

“In a land that knows not
Bitterness nor sorrow,
She has found out all
Of truth at last.”
