THE MOON by SAPPHO

First Line: BRIGHT STARS, AROUND THE FAIR SELENE PEERING
Last Line: FLOODS THE WORLD OVER.
Subject(s): APHRODITE; LOVE - EROTIC; LOVE; MYTHOLOGY - CLASSICAL;

BRIGHT stars, around the fair Selene peering,
No more their beauty to the night discover
When she, at full, her silver light ensphering,
Floods the world over.
