ROUND ABOUT ME by SAPPHO

First Line: ROUND ABOUT ME HUM THE WINDS OF AUTUMN
Last Line: SPREADS AS A RIVER.
Subject(s): APHRODITE; LOVE - EROTIC; LOVE; MYTHOLOGY - CLASSICAL;

ROUND about me hum the winds of autumn,
Cool between the apple boughs: and slumber,
Flowing from the quivering leaves to earthward,
Spreads as a river.
