GARDEN OF THE NYMPHS by SAPPHO

First Line: COOL WATERS TUMBLE, SINGING AS THEY GO
Last Line: MY SOUL ENTRANCING.
Subject(s): APHRODITE; LOVE - EROTIC; GARDENS & GARDENING; LOVE; MYTHOLOGY - CLASSICAL;

COOL waters tumble, singing as they go
Through appled boughs. Softly the leaves are dancing.
Down streams a slumber on the drowsy flow,
My soul entrancing.
