One Girl<\/h3>\n

~ by Sappho<\/p>\n

…………………………………..<\/span>I<\/p>\n

Like the sweet apple which reddens upon the topmost bough,<\/div>\n
Atop on the topmost twig \u2014 which the pluckers forgot, somehow, \u2014<\/div>\n
Forget it not, nay; but got it not, for none could get it till now.
\n.<\/span>
\n…………………………………..<\/span>II<\/div>\n
.<\/span><\/div>\n
Like the wild hyacinth flower which on the hills is found,<\/div>\n
Which the passing feet of the shepherds for ever tear and wound,<\/div>\n
Until the purple blossom is trodden in the ground.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Translated by Gabriel Dante Rossetti<\/em><\/div>\n
